Surgerversary and Unfill

Yesterday I made 1 year with my Realize band.. down 60lbs.  However, the last 3 weeks I've had unpleasant nightly Acid reflux episodes.  The doc's office said I might have something stuck so I may just need an unfill.... so I will be going tomorrow for an unfill. Anyone have this happen to them? If so, do they take all of it out or just some? I'm not a happy camper :(
follow your bliss..

I haven't had reflux with the band.  I have read that just a little unfill can help a lot.  If it were me, I would be happy to get rid of the reflux.  Being a tad too tight is no way to live.  Good luck!

I had reflux and a small  unfill .2cc  made a big difference for me.  I would ask him to start small and see if it helps.

A tiny unfill (just 0.1cc) made all the difference to me. Relieved the reflux and still left me with restricition.
