What Causes Burning Acid Reflux After Taking 20mg Nexium?

I have really bad burning reflux and cant seem to get any relief - I am taking 20mg Nexium at night but after being asleep for two hours it starts burning like crazy. Can I take two Nexium without it causing me any damage. My gastric band has been emptied because I was told it had gone out of position and have to wait six weeks for it to reposition itself - is this true??
