Is any one suffering too. I am on meds I am fine all day long but as nite falls and I sleep acid starts coming out now am trying not to eat close to bed time and not eating my beloved spicy foods . Does it get better? I was fine until my last fill but it was taken out . Any advise any experiences?

Reflux is not normal with the band, in fact it can be a red flag of being too tight or even a slip.

I would go back to your doctor ASAP.

what mis73 said!!!

I haven't had one tum's, zanex or a hit of reflux or indigestion since the day I started my pre op. From what I understand nighttime reflux is a sign of something wrong with the band.........go see your dr.

As the others have stated, reflux is usually a sign of being too tight. Do not ignore it or things will only get worse and lead to other likely complications!

I had some issues with acid reflux PRE banding. Not so much as a single Tums since. I agree with the above. I eat some very spicy foods too.

Speak to your doc for sure. Sometimes reflux can mean you are to tight, sometimes it is you are over eating, sometimes it doesn't have anything to do with the band.

My mom has hyperactive acid producers in her stomach and has taken meds for years. She just had a hernia surgery and also had the reflux surgery- she is worlds better.

If you are currently having sinus problems like me tell you doc that when you tell him you are having reflux. The only time I seem to have reflux is this time of year. The pollen starts falling and I get a horrible post nasal drip that is more like a post nasal river- this causes coughing, sore throat and reflux. Doc has checked me out and all is okay. But it is always best to talk to the doc.

thanks all i have made an appointment on saturday to see my doc. will see how it goes
