Guest guest Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 Hi all. I got my band in August 2008 in Mexico, Dr. Kuri, and I've seen Dr. in Ventura, CA for fills since then. I have NEVER had any issues with acid reflux or super-tightness before, but for the last two weeks, I've had both. I actually got stuck on my mid-morning yogurt recently! I've had heartburn constantly for the past two weeks, especially if I bend over or lie down. It seems to be getting worse, too. And for a long time after I get into bed at night, I can hear my stomach loudly gurgling away (which also is very unusual for me). I have an appointment with Dr. this coming Tuesday (the soonest I could get in), but I wanted to know what you all think might be going on. I haven't had a fill in close to a year and a half now, and I've never been very tight to begin with. Haven't vomited in ages, nor have I slimed. While I don't follow all the rules perfectly, I haven't done anything outrageous like entering a pie-eating contest lately. And I haven't changed my diet at all, so the acid reflux isn't food-based. So what gives? Thoughts? Should I just be drinking liquids at this point until my appointment on Tuesday? Should I be concerned about losing my band? I'm very nervous contemplating another surgery.
