Did anyone else suffer from acid reflux when they first got the band? I got the band on the 24th , 25th was throwing up and yesterday night/morning had acid reflux.

You shouldn't be vomiting with the band ever but especially so soon after surgery. You need to call your surgeon ASAP.

Have you had a "stuck" moment recently? I have had that after a "stuck" moment (first, the throwing up, then the acid reflux). I agree you should reach out to your dr though.

The doctor already was aware that I was throwing up. He gave me a steroid and Pepcid to stop the acid reflux and to help the inflammation go down. Today I'm on day 2 of clear liquids and I'm going to do one more day or clear liquids. My breathing is getting better and everyday seems to get better but I just wanted to know of anyone else suffered from this in the beginning and how you made out.
