I had to be unfilled 6 weeks ago due to being too tight and vomiting mom stop. When I had my surgery to put my band in he fixed the hernia. No more acid reflux after that until now. I got a small fill 2 weeks ago and feel no restriction but for the past three nights I wake up with horrible acid reflux. I am really worried. I go back for another fill in 10 days. When he fills me I under the X-ray the whole time and was told the bad was great and in the right position no worries. So now I so afraid that something is wrong and I do not have the money to do anythin as my insurance doesn't cover anything. Advice???

Hi

I've been banded for 3years and I've had problems with acid reflux the whole time. I'm taking prescribed nexium everyday. I have to sleep with a wedge pillow. This is something that a lot of us with lap bands go through. Don't eat and lay down. Try and wait at least 2hours before laying down. I hope this helps.
