I am filled to roughly 6ccs.

I've had the fill for 2 weeks. I'm waking up at night with severe reflux. I'm already sleeping on a slant and it's still waking me up coughing and with the nasty taste.

So I'm planning on calling to get an unfill.

HOw much do I ask for? When I got filled the Water went down just fine, but it's a night time issue.

I'm not eating anything too spicy or saucey, and I eat around 5:30 and go to bed around 10.

I am losing again and that makes me happy, but I cannot sleep and that stinks.

Any input would be appreciated, thanks!

Hi:

Your doctor should know how much he should take out to give you relief. You should get in there quickly before you have alot more problems.

I hope you feel better soon.

Take care.

Hi I was the same and got a 1/4ml out and feel fine now, good luck it only takes a small unfill to make you feel better

Ok, going in on Monday, soonest I could clear my schedule and it worked for them.

Ok, so how do you check that? If I drank Water and was fine prior, hmmm.

.2cc solved my problems with being way too tight. Who knew such a small amount could make a difference!!

Hi Lori,

I'm having exactly the same problem, only I've been this way a little over a month. I keep thinking it will relax and get better, but now I'm getting the worried the reflux will start damaging my esophagus.

I'm going to call my doctor and schedule an unfill as soon as I can get in there. I'm not uncomfortable during the day, but at night I'm not getting any sleep (and keeping DH awake with the coughing).

He suggested I check the LBT forum and now I'm so glad I did because (once again) it's nice to know I'm not alone.

Keep us posted how your unfill goes. Hope it works for you (as I'm hoping it will for me too).

Exactly what I was worried about, the acid burning my esophagus.

So hopefully at 9am it will be better. :blushing:

I'm happy to report I had an unfill on friday and I haven't coughed at night or had any reflux since then. So for me, at least, that solved the problem.

Good luck!
