I was banded on Monday and have been feeling progressively better until today.

This afternoon I had a massive attack of acid to the point of nausea at one point, and it is still painful. I don't normally have any acid problems.

I called my doctor and he suggested it was due to finishing up a Protein shake and then immediately drinking a microwave can of cream of chicken Soup (Campbells) in five minutes.

He suggested antacids and adding prilosec for a while and avoiding the cream Soups. I had been eating cream soups the last couple days with no prob but took 20 minutes to finish a can.

Anyway, my doctor said not to worry. Has anyone else experienced this? Why? Any suggestions for getting rid of this?

Thanks!

I was just banded on Monday! I have not had a problem with acid. My Dr. gave a script for Pepcid to take for 3 months. I have heard of other people on this site having that problem, seems very common.

wishing you well!!

I have been taking my pepcid all along. I have had this attack now for 6 hours or so. After I saw you say it was common I did some research and found out that it is reflux. because I had never had a problem with it before, I didn't know the name. Anyway, I am considering taking pepto-bismol as nothing else is working.

I would still be interested in hearing whether any other newly banded people have DEVELOPED this problem sometime after surgery.
