  2. Reflux during the night

    juliejbird replied to tutornmom's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
    I had my surgery back in '03. Lost 100 lbs and felt ready to lose more. Went back to the doctor & he added only .25cc & that caused all the hell I have been through in the past 4 years! I would wake at night with food in my nose & choking/couldn't breathe. I had moved so found a new doctor after a year of major GERD. My band was so tight food was passing thru the size of a pin. I was drained & told my surgery would need to be re-done & band replaced. Try getting insurance to approve that! During this time I gained back 65 lbs. I decided to get a 2nd opinion & my new doctor said let's start back at putting in fluid to where you had success. I had joined Weight Watchers & lost 15 lbs, but the heartburn is still there....just not as bad. All this over .25cc!
