Hernia POST-OP?? MAJOR HEARTBURN PLEASE HELP!



Recommended Posts

Ok so I was banded in June 09. The band has been amazing. I lost 50 lbs at a consistant good pase. I have now been at a standstill for about 2 months. I work out 6 days a week and do everything right. I called my surgeon about 2 months ago because I was having extreme heartburn non-stop all day, no matter what I ate or drank. He said I was too tight and he unfilled me .5cc. The heartburn let up a little, but not much. I finally called last week and they prescribed Nexium. It has helped a ton. I still get heartburn but not bad. So I called my surgeon because I need a fill bad b/c that last unfill they did for the heartburn took out too much and was not needed. I was at a good place. So I explained all this to them about the unfill not helping. Now they think I have a hernia. Pre-op tests didnt show one and they didnt see one while doing surgery. So....Has anyone experienced getting one post-op? If so, could this be a reason for the standstill in weigh-loss? It would make sense. I go in Feb. 11 to get a fill again and talk to my Dr. about all this.

I could really use some advice!

I had a hernia that they fixed at surgery but I never knew I had it. I burped alot before but I rarely had heartburn. If I eat too fast now I feel like I have heartburn. Maybe just not having as much food in your stomach is causing the acid to burn more than before. Have you tried pepsid (chewable)? It works for me.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
