    Acid Reflux bad! Could it be a Slip or something else?

    No...haven't gone yet...will be soon..thanks for your response Sent from my SM-G920V using BariatricPal mobile app
  3. Back story: I've had my band for 5 years. I just had a baby in November. Towards the end of the pregnancy I had a lot of restriction and really bad heart burn and acid reflux. Since delivery the acid reflux has not gone away. Some days are worse than others. Water even sits in my throat most of the time. I have woken up in the middle of the night choking on acid/fluid and started vomiting. I pop tums all day long and take zantac at night. Have any of you experienced something like this? If so..what was it and what did you do? I know I have to make an appt but I don't want tests or medication to interfere with nursing for right now ..so I'm trying to hold off Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App

    Pregnant and Lap Band

    Just had a baby...I kept my Fluid in the whole time...near the end I had some issues with restriction and pain so I ate a lot of soft stuff...also had terrible acid reflux that has not gone away...going to see a Dr soon about that...but over all it can be done...I even lost 20 lbs while preg...they just monitored the baby..meaning more ultrasounds to make sure he was growing the way he was supposed to Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App

    lab band and pregnancy

    I just had a baby in November..I've had the band for 5 years now...pregnancy was fine...as my belly grew I had more restriction...I never removed any Fluid...I did have some pain on my left side late in pregnancy after eating dense foods...so I ate a lot of soft stuff..my port area did get sore near the end and really stuck out but not unbearable. ..however I did suffer bad heart burn and acid reflux that I'm still suffering with Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App

  11. Hello, I got the band 3 years ago...and I just feel hungry...I eat I guess what fills my pouch but I still feel the underlying hunger...so I basically have to wait for that food to pass and then I fill the pouch again to try to get rid of the hunger.....I'm considering the sleeve but please tell me DO YOU ACTUALLY FEEL FULL??? LIKE THE FULL YOU FELT BEFORE THE SURGERY AFTER YOU EAT JUST YOUR LITTLE PORTION? I am struggling with this. Please share.

    Hungry

    Hello, I have had the band for 3 years now...I know it's supposed to restrict how much food I eat..but does anyone still feel hungry but physically can't eat anymore because their pouch is full and if you put anymore in, it's just going to come up??? I find myself eating some...waiting...and then eating more..because I still have the underlying hunger feeling...Help!!! Anyone feel the same??
