Ok, just be careful, we all want to do well but not but put your band at risk, if you say you are not too tight...then you are not too tight, you don't have to explain or answer to NO ONE!!! I can honestly say I have NEVER SUFFERED from REFLUX, I did have it once last year ONLY BRIEFLY when my band was too tight and I had to sleep in my recliner and I got an small unfill immediately and that took care of that reflux, but I hear of so many others have reflux issues with their band. When my band tighten up on me last May after a long trip, I had severe burning and heartburn and some reflux also, but I got a unfill immedately and ended up getting a complete unfill due to severe pouch irritation, but I am fine now with no problems. I was told by my surgeon that REFLUX is a early sign of a band slip or pouch dilation so be careful....P.S. I EAT and go to sleep right away every night and I have been doing this for 2 years and I guess I am lucky I have NEVER HAD ONGOING REFLUX issues..... Take Care
