HORRIBLE BEDTIME REFLUX
Help,, I have terrible bedtime reflux, i cough & cough loosing sleep. Can anybody tell me if this is the sign of a nicely filled band Or a little to full band. Sometimes liquid shoots out of my nose & mouth. I use Prilosec to no avail, & also prop myself up on 3 pillows to no avail.
Can anybody help me with this problem? any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks. marilyn

This has happened to me too. It is usually a sign that I have eaten and drank too much or too late. I had gone a bit astray for a while and now that I am aware of what I am eating before sleep, it has gone away. Is it acidic? Mine was not, it was like the liquid literally come back up almost intact, almost like a horizontal PB!

I agree with Lynn you need to call your doctor. You would benefit from a slight unfill. I had reflux 2 times and both were from my band being to tight

night coughing and reflux...sure sighn of tightness....i would get an unfill ..let your stoma(sp) relax so the swelling goes down and then you can go from there.....maybe you had a bad stuck episode and really made you swell? like she said the acid sitting in your esophugus...baddddd ...im sure if you tell the doc about the reflus they will get you in fast!

If you are not eating food within three hours of going to bed you need an unfill. I have a friend who ... well, the band just isn't for her. With an unfilled band she has the same problems as you. Now she has burned out her sinus cavities with stomach acid and has constant nose bleeds. If you are not eating before going to bed, please get an unfill. Doesn't have to be a total unfill, just a bit.
