It doesnt happen often but it does happen. I've been banded 3 years and restricted at the save number of ccs for the last 1.5 years. does it ever happen to you? iffffrffff so, how often?

You're never supposed to vomit or have reflux with the band.

You need to contact your surgeon and let him check your band.

Good luck.

how often are you having this?

Not to scare you, but reflux can lead to erosion of the esophagus, which can lead to cancer of the throat.

See your Doctor, please!

The reason I know this is because before banding I had "silent reflux" didn't know it and my esophagus was eroded and they were afraid I had cancer from it. I had to take two Prilosec a day to get rid of it.

Thanks all! It usually happens when I'm really hungry and eat really big bites ... I'd say it occurs maybe once a month or so?

Definitely worth talking to your doctor about or making a call into their office. No harm in asking and better safe than sorry like Maddysgram mentioned.

Congrats on 1.5 years!

Well if it's b/c you're "really hungry and eat really big bites", that kinda explains it. Stop doing that!lol

Still would mention it to your Dr though.

Bee Well

I used to get reflux all the time, in the beginning, until I learned I can no longer eat hot-spicey foods.

Food will accumulate in the pouch where it is more concentrated in a small area before passing into the stomach where normal digestive process takes over.

I have also been advise not to lie flat ( go to bed) just after eating, but to stay upright and active.

But it also affected by how much restriction one has.

As far as vomiting, I'm not sure what you mean by that......vomiting and the band related regurgitation can be two different things.

I had reflux last night for the first time in a long time. I think it's because I ate late and went to bed less than an hour after finishing.

You are probably right!
