Just got a 1cc fill leaving me with a 3 cc fill I have been having bad acid reflux. At night. Ill be sleeping and acid shoots up in my thirst chocking me. I have even raised head of bed taken nexium before bed but still wake up with reflux. Does this go away after a while I'm at good spot with fill other wise decreased hunger ect. I'm going to try drinking only shakes for tomorrow. Hoping not to have a unfill i dont have much in my band just 3cc ? Has anyone had this and it went away after awhile? Should I be eating different?

Last night was sooo hard woke up several times choking.? I really don't want to unfil everything else is just right. ;,,(

Talk to your surgeon. You should not be experiencing acid reflux at night that severe. Even removing just a tiny fill amount (.2cc) can make a huge difference.

Everyone experiences fill levels different. So "only" being at 3cc's doesn't mean much really. If you find restriction at 1 or 2 cc's.. awesome!

Don't keep your band too tight. The ramifications are not worth it. Get it checked out before you do damage.

Thanks yeah I think I'm going to check to see if I have hiatial hernia I have always had some reflux but not like this. After reading about HH I could have one since I take nexium and it's not helping now

I had a similar issue for a couple of months and I swear I was not too tight. I could eat ANYTHINg and my hunger was not well controlled. I was taking Nexium and it was not helping. I ended up having most of my fluid taken out as I stupidly tried to eat steak and got horrible stuck. I am in the process of being refilled. Am now up to 4ml in a 10ml band - previously I had 6ml. I have no restriction and am struggling with hunger. I have had 1 episode of reflux in this time so I am not sure what is causing it.

I hope you get yours sorted out. 3ml does not sound as though it should be too tight.

My response didn't post under quote? Anyway I decided to go to dr to check for a hiatial hernia I have always had some reflux but not like this. Also going to see if DR wants to do a small infill Just so bummed I am at such a good spot oh we'll I knw I have read others like you el that have had to infill. I'll get through this.

You can still be in the sweet spot with a small unfill. I was experiencing the same thing and a .2cc unfil made all the difference in the world. I am able to eat, can go for hours upon end w/o eating and no reflux, PBing, or vomiting!!! Good luck!
