I had fill two week ago and have a bad acid reflux since then. Maaolax does not help even simple protein shake in the morning or cup of milk will do the reflux, please help me

help me with acid reflux. I had fill 2 wks ago and it bothers me. I don't want to go back and unfill any suggestion pleaseeeeeeeeeeee?

You are too tight - take my word for it - been through it twice. Back December 28 2010 I got a 1 cc fill and started having acid reflux right away. January 2011 I got pnenomia twice - becuase of acid reflux and had 1/2 a cc removed - no more acid reflux. But I was still having problems eating meat or salads and when I did eat, I could only eat a tiny, tiny bit and I wasn't losing any weight. I went back to the doctor and had another 1/4 to 1/2 cc removed.....ahhhh total releif! Now I can eat everything - only small amounts and I lost the rest of my weight and hit goal.

Go have some removed!

Thanks, problem I have is I go to Mexico and they do it there, traveling there is not convinient. does it get better by time? I am taking med for acid reflux ? if not will go and have them take out some.

Thanks

How far along are you on your weight loss? If you've pretty much just started the journey, it will loosen as you lose weight. Sip liquids slowly, eat greek yogurt (for extra protein), and don't eat for at least 4 hours before you go to bed........but, if you are close to you weight lose goal (I was within 20 pounds when I had the last fill) it may not get better until you have some removed.

i have 15 more to go, does it get loose by weight loss or time? I had fill a week ago 1/2cc

You might as well get ready to go have some (if not all) removed! If you didn't have acid reflux before the fill, then the problem is the fill. Since you only have 15 pounds to lose, making the band tighter won't work. Well - if all you can eat is liquids, you might lose, but it seems you can't even keep that down.

Go back and maybe they can just remove .25 cc and you'll be fine. But - bring something to eat with you......like yogurt and stay in the waiting room until you are sure you can eat it without any problems. If you can and it doesn't take you an hour to eat it, you should be ok. Most likely you've lost enought weight that tightening the band won't really work or you just need a tiny, tiny bump - like .25 cc.

Thanks, you are right. I will go next week and have remove it. thank you so much for feed back.
