IM Lori, I think I am having the same problem as you. I was banded 4/23/08 and had my first fill end of May and had no problems until early August when I suddenly became tight and with reflux. I had an unfill and felt alittle better and a week later was back tight again. I then had another small unfill and did okay for a few days and again was tight again, refluxing, unable to sleep flat. I talked with my surgeon in Monterrey and was advised to get everything out of band and stay on liquids for a week and take prilosec. I'm now two weeks post unfill and I'm still miserable. I have thought about maybe the band needs to come out.:girl_hug: Please email me NRowell@aol.com. I need more advice please.
