I had a fill of just .5cc about 2 weeks ago. This put me at 6.5 cc. I am having a lot of Gas pains and reflux at night. It seems that the only thing that I can eat is Soups and other liquids. Solids go down but usually come back up at night with the reflux. I try sleeping in a chair where I am not lying down but it doesn't help. I end up burping a lot with something coming up with the burp and then a lot of reflux as well. Nothing seems to work.

Is thoughts as to what might be wrong? Am I too tight and need an unfill? If so should I have all .5 cc removed or just part. This is really bad. No real sleep now going on two weeks.

Hi Michael,

From what I understand, if you are having reflux and not sleeping well because of it, you should see if they can take some of the saline out. They don't have to take all of it out, but something to make you more comforatable. I my last visit to get filled, the doctor wanted to progress my weightloss but not fill to much, so she said, "If you are starting to eat around the band, we need to take some .CCs out." So if you're eating Soup because you can't keep food down, regardless if it's due to reflux, you should probably see your doctor. It won't hurt to at least call and get their opinion either.

Besides, you need a good nights sleep and if you're working out, you need solid food.

Hope this helps a little.
