I had reflux for 19 years prior to having the band placed. I had a hiatal hernia repaired when they placed the band. The only time I had reflux after the band was placed was when my band was to tight. Sounds like you might have been  too tight. If you were getting stuck and throwing up your doctor should have removed some fluid.  I feel for you Acid is horrible and really makes it hard to function when it constant.  Did your doctor try a slight unfill first to see if that would help? Mine removed .5 and put me on acid meds twice a day for about a month. I have not had a problem since. Hopefully it didn't come undone and you were just needing a slight unfill and some time to let things calm down. I took over the counter acid blocker twice a day,  two in the morning and two at night and noticed a difference in a couple of days. I have not had a problem since. I keep my band pretty lose and have not had a fill in a couple of years. Hope all works out for you

I will start by saying I had reflux for 19 years. It was a daily problem that kept me drinking baking soda at least 1 to 2 times a day for yes, 19 years. I talked to my doctor about it before the band. He found I had a hiatal hernia before I had the band placed. When he placed my band he also fixed the hernia. I had no reflux for a couple of years and one day it came back. I was not sure why but soon realized my band was a little too tight. My surgeon removed .5 and my reflux went away. You need to talk to your doctor and he needs to find out why you have reflux. The only time I have had any reflux was when my band gets to tight. That was 3 years ago. I have had no problems at all since. Talk to your doctor. Hope all works out for you

I can't comment on the hernia as I have no experience. But it was certainly a good idea to get the fluid removed.  Being too tight for any length of time is the primary cause of many problems. 

Thanks 

That's very true, they will say anything to get your money!!
