Does anyone have heartburn ?

Of course i have had it the last week or so,, some chili set it off - so I got reading and find that heart burn can signal all kinds of bad things with the bad ...damn google..

Im just wondering if some banders have heartburn that is nothing more than just that..

I am eating ok,, small amounts 1/2 cup usually, not vomiting as long as i eat slow and chew chew well -- only when do i not do that do i pb and vomit...

wondering if i should be scared?

it is very common to have heartburn with the lapband. I have it and have had since about 8 months after banding,...but its getting better as I get my band loosened--as I get closer to my goal weight :(

I am not sure if what I have is heartburn. When I eat I sometimes get a pain in my chest ( particularly if I ate a little too much or too fast). If I can burp it feels much better. If I cant, it sometimes causes nausea and vomiting.

This does not sound like heartburn...sounds like a little bit of getting "stuck"...chew your food really well and take super small bites.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
