Having A Terrible Time!

I've had my band a couple of years, was unfilled a couple of months ago due to reflux, PBing, unable to eat band friendly foods. Lately, I'm PBing up foods I ate more than 8 hours earlier, waking with acid in my mouth, etc. I follow band rules and am satisfied for at least five hours after eating, whether it stays down or not. Right now I'm feeling stuck on two tiny pills (prescription) and can't eat breakfast till they're through.

I have an appt next week with my GI doctor to figure out the next step. Any ideas?

    I'm glad you have an appointment scheduled. They need to make sure your band isn't slipped. Best wishes to you.

They fixed mine with the band and it came back, guess I'm lucky!

It seems lots of us have a Hernia repaired during surgery. I didn't even know I had a problem
