Ok so I am new around here. I have been doing pretty well with my band, felt like I had hit my sweet spot, was able to eat fairly normal foods in minimal quantity but still had good restriction. I was supposed to go get another fill this last month but cancelled because I didn't want to be too tight again, went through that once won't do it again. Even a little added makes a major difference to me. Well It seems like I have heartburn 24 lately now and I am having trouble eating because of it. I try to eat and I get uncomfortable or it's painful so I stop and then it gets worse so I don't try at all. The hearburn just continues on which make me want to eat less and less. My stress level hasn't really changed and nothing new emotionally so I can't realy account for it. I am not even someone to have heartburn, last time I had it I was pregnant with my 4 year, I had a hysterectomy in February so I know that isn't the case either...any ideas? Anyone ever go through anything like this? I asked someone in my office and they said it means you are too tight or too loose but how would I suddenly change like that? Weight loss has been steadily 1-1.5 pounds a week since my last fill 4 months ago.
