Had it before banding, was on Nexium every day. One month after banding NO MORE REFLUX. From what I hear, eating too late @ night, lying down after eating & being filled too tight can cause it.

Had it BAD before surgery. My surgeon fixed a hietal hernia so that made it completely go away. I feel very lucky bc I suffered everyday for 10 years with this problem previously. I used to lay up all night in pain. I am so glad that is over.

I had reflux about 6 days a week before the surgery. I was constantly taking Pepcid, my mom even gave me some of her Protonix.....I can gleefully report that since the day of surgery I have not had reflux a single time!!! That in itself is almost better than any amount of weight I've lost!!

I was banded 1/31/05, last fill 7/21/05 and just these past couple of weeks i have been experiencing lots of acid reflux while i sleep. I bet it woke me up at least 6 or 7 times last night - ugh!!! I eat my last meal btwn 6-7pm and i have not been overeating. I don't know why it has started all of the sudden. Any ideas? I do have our support group meeting tonight and i plan to ask the nurse about it. But i am confused why all of the sudden 3 weeks after a fill acid reflux started???
