Hi! I was banded April, 2007 and all has been great until December, 2007. I have this burning in my throat all the time. It is not in my chest like heartburn and I don't really feel like acid is coming up. I do clear my throat alot but I recently had bronchitis. I had .5 removed from my band to see if it would help and I did for maybe a week and now it's back. I have tried all types of acid reducers and now cough medicine to try to numb the burning. Has anyone experienced this and what did you do.
