Increased Acid in Stomach

So I've tried searching hte forums and haven't seen exactly what I'm looking for so I shall post my question:

I've now had my 2nd fill 2 weeks ago. I tolerate liquids and foods, however, I find that no matter what I'm eating, my stomach feels like its producing more acid and it's coming up my throat a bit. It's so uncomfortable.

Anyone have any thoughts or ideas about how to manage this?

It's called acid reflux. You need a small unfill.

yes, it is acid reflux. it's a good idea to get a small unfill before it gets worse.

my acid reflux got to be so bad that i would wake up in the middle of the night choking on the acid.

Thanks you guys...I was hoping to not need an unfill...but possibly just a small one wouldn't be so bad. I love the restriction...I'm satisfied sooner for longer...don't want to give that up...but do not need this acid reflux..yuck. Anything that I can do until I get in for that unfill?

You can try OTC acid reflux medication but really do not leave this untreated. While your restriction may be great, acid reflux is VERY harmful.

I got a call back from the nurses. They too suggested a slight unfill...just waiting to hear back on a timeslot..hope they don't take out too much :(

Sometimes a small unfill, like .2cc can do the trick. I'd take a small unfill over esophageal cancer any day. ;)

Thanks reverie...when you put it that way...it makes it very clear what needs to be done. Never thought of that aspect.
