Help acid reflux and gurgling after weight gain



Recommended Posts

Hi I'm about 3.5 years out of surgery .since last fill

Ive lost about 50 pounds in total

But in the last 8 months I've gained about 10 pounds. I now have slime backing up if I eat too quick and some acid back flush through the night, and some weird noisy burping and gurgling noises coming from the throat

can the band tighten up through weight gain ?

reasons for gain are sliders lots of business meals and lots of long haul flying

any comments welcome

I'd discuss it with your doctor. If there are any abnormalities you should get them checked out and see what's going on.

Otherwise, no advice here except to lay off the slider foods ;)

Your band will not increase restriction following weight gain. However it is not good having avid reflux at night.
I suggest that you should have a substantial aspiration to rest the band as you could possibly have a dilated pouch.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
