HEARTBURN? Anyone else have this problem?



Recommended Posts

I got .25 cc taken out of my band on Monday because it sometimes hurt to eat, and I would have heartburn and reflux some. I thought that would help my heartburn (it hurts right underneath my breasts I guess where the band is or could it be sour stomach?), but I am still having problems with it. I can eat so much better, and I can even eat a little more whereas I wasn't able to before I got the unfill. Does anyone else have heartburn issues or sour stomach issues?

It started this morning after I drank some of my Protein Shakes, and sometimes those do give me heartburn even before being banded.

You know.......if you drink a teaspoon of vinegar it is supposed to restore the proper acid balance to your stomach and cure heartburn......Think of it like a shot of tequila....and follow it with a sip of Tomato juice to kill the taste in your mouth!!! Also, my doctor has said to watch heartburn as it could be a sign of being filled too much, but since you had it before the band I would personally try the vinegar first :)

I have had reflux for over 20 years. I was taking Protonix before my surgery in May 2010. I was heartburn free for a few months then I started having sliming espisodes that irritated my stomach and back came the heartburn. I now keep the Protonix on hand and use as needed when it flares up. Tums didn't work and I wanted to make sure it was taken care of so I wasn't uncomfortable or miserable more than I needed to be. My surgeon is the one to suggest I go back on it as needed. I didn't get an unfill I just skipped the fill until my heartburn was under control. I got the Protonix filled again because I don't want to try and find something that might work. I know the Protonix works for me and I want a sure thing versus a maybe.

      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.
