Could also mean you need a slight unfill. Your dr will figure it out

I had a random couple of days of heartburn and realized somehow that it was possibly the allergy medication I take right before I go to bed. I went to my surgeon first just to make sure and all was well (but very glad I came and told me to call any time something doesn't seem right). I stopped taking the pill right bed, switched meds to a smaller pill and it went away. I agree with line-dancer. Call and tell them you have started having issues out of the blue and see if they can fit you in. Good luck!

I have been on the same medicines for two years nothing has changed.... Well except for my anxiety meds... They switched me from cymbalta to Zoloft but that was more that a month ago.... If it continues I am definitely going to call the dr.... I just had an unfill about three weeks ago and we are really trying to get to my proper amount of Fluid that needs to be in my band.... Once I am there I think I will be so much happier and better!!!!

Sounds more like a Pouch enlargement:

Symptoms of pouch enlargement include lack of satiety, heartburn, regurgitation and occasional chest pain. The diagnosis is made with an upper gastrointestinal series.

Some have said that having an Un-fill has helped them resolve this problem, That is what helped me when I started to experience heartburn.

SLIPS:

In both types of slip,( Anterior and Posterior) the patient usually presents with dysphagia, vomiting, regurgitation and food intolerance. The diagnosis is made by upper gastrointestinal series. Complications related to band slip

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
