Great advice. I took Pepcid AC last night with no problems. I also refrain from eating foods 3 hours before bedtime, which is hard to do. I like have a small bowl of fruit or a healthy snack before bedtime. 2-3 hours of not eating anyting before bedtime is tough. I will call my doctor today re. other remedies, but the Pepcid AC worked great. For now I'm on target of losing a pound a week. I was banded in Aug of 2005, I have 25 pounds to loose to get to my target wt of 230. My problem now is that I find myself at times vomiting after a big meal. My eyes are bigger than my appetite. The good thing about the band is that it reminds you when you are not ahering to the rules of proper eating. You will pay for it later. Thanks for all the advice. Shame on me for not keeping up with this forum. I joined in 2005 but did not stay with. I need to know all the ins and outs about the band and learn from others.

I was banded in August-2005 (San Diego). I rec'd my last fill (1/2 cc) 35 days ago. I think I may have GERD/Reflex...

How can you tell if your band is slipping?
