I was banded in 3/06 and have lost 62lbs so far and feel great with no issues but I have had a very bad year with my allergies and for the last two week I wake us with a sore throat. I read on another post that this could be a sign of acid reflux. I take Prevacid everyday and feel good other wise. I was just wondering if that info is correct. If it is reflux what should I do. I'm scheduled for another fill in 2 weeks but now I'm not sure if I should call my doctor.

Thanks for your help.

It certainly could be acid reflux, and a fill will just make it worse. If you've lost 62 lbs in just over 3 months you are sailing along pretty good on the weight loss, maybe a fill can wait!
