I have been having gallbladder attacks as well I didn't know what was going on and I wasn't able to eat anything and became very dehydrated and had to be put in the ER when they found out it was my gallbladder they quickly emptied my band and haven't had heart burn since. I am scheduling my gallbladder removal tomorrow. Maybe you should have your band unfilled just a little I know the heart burn is terrible and as soon as my band was empty it was instant relief... Hope you feel better soon

Talk to your doc about a beta blocker.

Talk to your doc about a beta blocker.

How is a beta blocker going to help heartburn? They are used to treat hypertension' date=' Migraines and glaucoma. Perhaps you meant PPI , proton pump inhibitor?
