acid reflux?
Stress, illness, temperature, allergies, TOM can all make the band tighter. Eating too late, spicy foods, caffeine can all encourage acid reflux! But i am sure you know all that.
You are right to see your doc - best wishes, Kate
Highest 290, Banded - 248 Lowest 139 (too thin!). Comfort zone 155-165.
Happily banded since May 2006. Regain of 28lbs 2013-14. ALL GONE!
But some has returned! Up to 175, argh! Off we go again,
I never had reflux until I got my band and it was one of the worst things I ever experiencd. I tried EVERYTHING (antacids, pepto, sleeping in the recliner) and nothing worked but then I realized that if I stopped eating past 6:00 that I didn't have it so for the past several years I do not eat past 6:00 unless I want to be up with reflux. And when Im tempted to eat something at night, I just remember that awful taste of acid in my mouth and that I would rather be sleeping instead of choking on acid reflux.
You might be just a tad too tight. No food or drinks 3 hours before you go to bed. Take a PPI, don't tolerate reflux.
