I have been having problems with gas, and more recently reflux. I am at my perfect fill, my weight loss is steady and I feel like aside from these painful side effects everything is perfect.

I'm thinking that I might be having reflux because I am due to start next week and my band is tight due to the Water retention. I don't have problems at night, and the pain sort of wraps around my back right under my bustline.

I called my doc today and the nurse was an idiot. I'm going to make an appt tomorrow, just because I need to make sure that nothing is seriously wrong. I was fine until Saturday when I had a couple of pieces of pineapple and some watermelon, which might be what caused the reflux, but then again isn't that sort of a cure for it? I also feel very full all the time without eating, like Thanksgiving dinner full.

Anyone have any suggestions?

It sounds like you need some taking out of your band. You may be too tight. Dont ignore reflux bc with the band it could mean something more serious is going on. But if you werent having it before and now it TOM it could be due to the hormone changes. I myself have a little reflux from time to time. The first time it happened my doc made me have a slight unfill, well I got half that fill put back in and its been ok until last night I took a med I hadnt taken since my last fill and started having reflux I blame it on the drugs and wont take it again!!
