Hello everyone, I am having severe acid reflux and I have no fills in with my band at this moment. I got banded in August of 2006, I was doing fine then around December I got my first fill and starting having reflux. (Never had reflux before surgery) I got the fill removed in February cause I could not deal with the pain. I was put on Nexium and have been taking it since then, I felt a little better around three weeks ago and now it has been one week that I am back with the pain again, has this happen to anyone else. My DR checked my band and gave me an upper GI and he said the band was fine and that I had severe reflux that came up to my throat. He said that if I don't get better soon, I will have to take out the band and I have done very well. I have lost 55lbs and need 35lbs to go and I am looking for any suggestions. I take a Nexium in the morning and a pepcid at nite before going to bed. Anxiously waiting for some suggestions. :guess
