I too had a ...Thanks for your comments, y'all.<br /><br />I too had a hiatal hernia repaired when I went into surgery. Since then, I have had NO issues with reflux except for once when my doc filled me too tight. My doc and I both believe this is stress-related due to finals coming up this week. I thought I could make it to the end of school, but that didn't happen. Went in for a slight unfill today.<br /><br />I don't have a wedge pillow, but I've been using THREE to prop me up almost to a semi-sitting position. Each night it has gotten progressively worse, so it's not working. About 5:30 this morning I almost drowned in the stuff... ended up taking a THIRD Protonix.<br /><br />Anyway, here's hoping the unfill helps. I'll update.<br /><br />Debi - so far I really love the new bed. Unfortunately I haven't really been able to enjoy it fully because I'm so focused on the reflux. I didn't think I'd like the TempurPedic because I really can't stand the memory foam. I had a memory foam topper on my last bed (one that I bought separate for the bed -- it wasn't part OF the bed) and, though I loved it at first, after about a month I really wasn't crazy about it.<br /><br />If you like, though, the Sleep Number has a few beds that has the memory foam topper in varying inch heights. One of them even has a reversible foam for EACH side of the bed -- so you could use the memory foam-type and your husband could use the other. It's the i10, I believe.<br /><br />That's my commercial for the day. ;)Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04709345711323446312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8496698320920768554.post-36411592650921396252009-12-11T16:03:17.491-05:002009-12-11T16:03:17.491-05:00I too suffer from this, however, I have been on Pr...I too suffer from this, however, I have been on Prilosec OTC every night for a couple of years & for the most part, it has kept me in control. When it does flare up, I sleep with one of those inexpensive wedge pillows to help elevate my upper body & it really helps.<br /><br />I did have the Hiatal Hernia repair done in the Surgery & I was told by my Surgeon to take the Prilosec OTC every night for 30 days. But I am not sure if I want to go off them even then, because I take sooo many prescription medications that can cause these kind of problems.<br /><br />Anyway, glad to hear that you got a new bed. The Sleep Number Bed is one that we might consider for the future. We currently have a Tempur Pedic Bed & I love it, but my DH doesn't sleep as well on it, which is why we might switch to a Sleep Number so we can set our individual settings. Anyway,<br /><br />Happy HolidaysDebihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09992977491095091038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8496698320920768554.post-72148437032264799602009-12-11T11:07:19.697-05:002009-12-11T11:07:19.697-05:00Well.... that stinx!

I had bad reflux before I had the LB surgery, my doctor did a fundoplication procedure with the band, and a HH repair, so reflux is no longer a problem, but I certainly remember how bad it was! Get better soon!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00030118227507310123noreply@blogger.com
