I have always had acid reflux and take Prevacid for it. I am having nighttime acid reflux that started after the last fill. It comes between 3am - 5am and lasts anywhere from 5 min to 15 min. I am working with my fill doctor to keep it under control and we are trying several different things to see what works. I sleep elevated with two pillows, do not eat or drink after about 6:30, take the Prevacid twice a day. I am 21 pounds from my goal and do not want to lessen the fill nor do I want to damage myself. How long is it okay to have a little reflux? Can I have it for several months so I can lose the rest of my weight? Any suggestions on what to do?

I have ALWAYS stuggles with reflux. I also take prevacid... and honestly sometimes it feels like nothing works. I can imagine being so close to your goal that you wouldnt want to loosen your band. I am anxious to see how my reflux will be once I get banded? Did yours get worse? Was there anything you could take soon after banding or were you able to continue with your prevacid?

Until the last fill, my acid reflux was if not better at least not worse. I was only taking one Prevacid a day and felt able to eat most anything. I did after banding try stopping the Prevacid, but that did not work.

Eat celery! It is A acid nutrilizor and works almost immediently. Guaranteed!
