The barium swallow is Monday. But I upped my Prilosec to 4 pills a day along with two tums before bed and that has really, really helped. I'm eating smaller dinners too. I also changed to a vegan diet this past Monday so maybe ditching dairy and meat has helped too. Not sure. I honestly don't think it slipped, I think maybe there is scar tissue in there making it tight, but I'll find out next week. Thanks for responding.

What did your diagnostics say?

Hello, I had lap band and suffered from severe GERD toward the end that and the weight regain was why I had revision surgery to RNY. Before my surgery I was put on prescription strength medication I took two different pills one in the morning and one at night it really did help and made it tolerable until I could have my revision.

I just found out I have a hiatal hernia as well, which may be making the GERD worse. I went to 80 mg Prilosec and it seems to be helping. I see the doc this week so I'll find out what his recommendation is.

I was banded in 2006 - I'm in the process of scheduling my revision now. Slip, esophageal dilation and severe reflux. My insurance wouldn't cover this even if I were dying.

I'm nervous about the revision to RNY, but excited at getting a second chance at this.
