OK so here i am six days later and so far no pain!!!! I did have my husband call my Dr last night because the pain was so bad that i was shaking and crying something that i rarely do. And i never ask to call the dr and i never go to the er, so when i do that's when people start to worry about me. But it was so intense last night that i thought i might die yes for real. I know that when ever i have pain that bad i turn in to like this awful person who cant control what i say lol. My husband just laughs at me after he finds out im not going to die and ill be ok. Any ways after talking to the dr and him telling my husband that there shouldn't be that much acid in anyone's tummy and that i had a reason to be pissy and cry he told my husband to go to the store and get some childrens Motrin and give me that and in the morning he would call me in something different. Well i took two phynigrin before he got back then he gave me the Motrin and i slept all night!!!!! All night long! I haven't don't that since last Saturday!! And please don't get me wrong i still love my band and i still want it and when they told me they had to take liquid out i cried because i have come so so so far and im not going back! But this heart burn is horrible! And sadly it wasn't my fault. they don't know what is happening but I do have to go back for more test :blink:. OK so i cant eat real food till tomorrow and trust me that scares the hell out of me but today i was going to the store and i thought to myself what can i eat............................... Then i thought what is the most gentlest thing that i can thing of..... and trust me this took a while but then i saw the diapers and thought oh baby food!!!!!! Ok i know what your thinking gross right but really I haven't eaten in six days and when i did it wasn't very much and it made me hurt to the point of i stopped even drinks where making me hurt that's maybe why they had to give me an iv. any ways this morning i woke up and drank a very small coffee cup of water and that made my tummy feel just icky. Like it was raw on the inside i know gross but any ways so i called my friend who has a baby and asked her what her baby liked and what i could get that wasn't high in acid. She told me all the good stuff to get because well i haven't ever had a baby and i have no clue about the baby food. She told me to get some meats but the ones that where dinners not just the meat so i did and so i got that and some bananas because i read that they help with acid in your tummy and while am allergic to reg bananas i thought its got to be better then feeling like crap right? ok so i get home put everything away and choose chicken noodle and banana and some cereal. And its was like after i ate that and then drank the Gerber juice my stomach just stopped it calmed down stopped hurting and stopped burning everything and i didn't even have a reaction to the bananas. I felt so good i almost cried with JOY! I text my husband at work and told him he at first got scared and said that the Dr only told me i could have liquids so i got on the phone and called them and they said baby puree food was fine. Then he calmed down lol and couldn't believe that when he got home i was sleeping good and i felt even better. Of course he asked what made me think of that and really i was in the soups and everything i looked at just looked painful then i turned and again saw the diapers and it was like a light went off in my head. Any ways im just happy that my stomach is happy with me again and that i am not going crazy with pain. Ok so this would be my biggest point if your having hell with heartburn that hurts like crazy try baby food and Gerber juice, i think it saved me from going insane! I just thought i would share this because it sucks and its not fun. And i wouldn't wish this on ANYONE so really if it happens to you just try to baby food.

I have esophogial reflux and when it's acting up, nothing seems to work except for throwing up. I am 2 weeks from my surgery and I am worried about the reflux and heartburn...this will hopefully help me as well. Thanks for posting.
