Heartburn And Nausea

[Sharilo 6]

Hi, I recently got home from vacation during which I flew. I've noticed that the last couple of days I've been experiencing heartburn and getting nauseous while eating. I'm wondering if my band tightened from the plane ride (which is something I've heard can happen), or if there is something else going on that would necessitate a call to the surgeon. Any ideas? Does anyone else experience this during meals and what do you do to make it stop? It does go away pretty quickly once I stop eating, I'm just confused as to what is happening since I've never experienced this before. I've been banded 7 months...

Probably just a little tight from flying. Go back to liquids/mushies for a day and see if that helped. Doubt your band slipped

Call your doctor, but i've just started gettting heartburn too, no nausea though. Banded 6 months. I've put in an email to my doc and waiting to hear back, but she said in the mean time, to take omeprazole OTC, you can get it at Walmart or walgreens. She also told me (which I haven't been following like I should) no drinking while eating, wait 30 mins before and after you eat to drink. Eat slowly, take small bites, and chew slowly. I think my problem is i'm healed now, and everything goes down easy again...I do have restriction, but i'm not being as careful as I was about what I put in my mouth and when. Maybe at 6 months we get used to it and think we can eat whatever we want again? Anyway, that's what my nutritionist said, I will follow up when I hear from the doctor.
