  1. I developed a hiatal hernia & reflux from the band - did you?

    Elusia replied to Cleo's Mom's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
    Yes, I was banded October 2007. Had my last fill in July of 2008 was up to 5 ccs. A few days ago, I had my band completely deflated and had a barium swallow test the next morning that diagnosed my hiatal hernia and reflux. I was also waking up during the night choking on my own vomit. I ate small portions, exercised and rarely ate just before bedtime. Now my surgeon wants me to eat soft foods for a month, take Pepcid and maybe have another swallow test before deciding what to do next. I am surprised that this is not uncommon. I hope you are feeling better by now. Will you be keeping your band in?
