Thanks for the advice. I went to the Dr. and it turns out my band may have been placed a bit too high and so if adding more fluid after the complete deflation doesn't work after 2 weeks, there may need to be a "revision". Yikes. UGH!

I have been having some pretty bad acid reflux, which I did not suffer from to this extent prior to surgery. I have already gone for 2 unfills. (1 cc in total). I am at 4 in an 11 cc band and was up to 6 at one point. When I go to bed, even when I don't eat/drink for 3 hours before bed, I fall asleep only to be awoken by vomit/reflex coming up into my throat and a coughing fit ensues. I then vomit and am able to go back to sleep. (Which is propped up on 3 pillows.) During the day, I sometimes feel like a dragon. I feel heat or a sour stomach. I just want to know if this is happening to anyone else and how restricted they are. The trouble is that I can eat, so I don't think my band is over filled, but who knows. Is this just trial and error? I had my surgery in March and so in a couple of weeks, it will be 6 months. Any ideas/feedback would be great. (Should I be worried about esophageal cancer? Or am I just being paranoid.)
