Hi I had my band surgery around 2011, occasionally I may have night time gastric reflux with intense coughing, my question is what is a better  med  or success overcoming this?

thanks.

I cannot stress this strongly enough: address this NOW. I spend 4 days in the hospital in February with aspiration pneumonia brought on by night time reflux. The first thing to question is if your band is too tight. If it is, you need to have some of the fill out. You should also make sure that you stop eating at least 2 or three hours before bedtime, and try elevating your chest and head when you sleep.

thanks a lot.  However I did get a new prescription pantaprazole

and only took it 1 time and so far (knock on wood) no more coughing.  You are indeed right the nigh time eating.

Again thanks and wish you are doing better and healthy.
