Prolapse/dilation??

[chickadee81 0]

Ok y'all...I am actually starting to worry about myself. I have been getting heartburn off and on for a few weeks now. Prior to this I haven't had any heartburn for like 5 1/2 months. It is very faint heartburn...in fact like today I haven't even taken anything for it, but it's still there and has been there like all day. I'm so worried I have done something to hurt my band (prolapse/dilation). I haven't thrown up alot in the 6 mo I've had my band (only 3 times), and none of them were recent. I know there have been times I've eaten too much, but it's not like I always stuff myself. I finally called the dr today after mentioning it at my appt friday. They haven't called me back yet . Like i said the heartburn isn't bad, and I have never woken up with heartburn. Any insights? Oh and I am having no problems eating or drinking.

you know, this is one of the first questions that my dr asks me everytime i see him in his office>> i've always been able to say no, but my thought was always that if i did get heartburn that he would probably say my band is too tight>> could this be your problem? in addition to difficulty eating in drinking>>>what do you mean "problems"?

my friend had the same problem. the dr removed a small amount of saline from the band and he was fine.........too much in the band was his problem.

check with your dr.
