jhkrn 8 Posted February 26, 2013 Hi! I'm almost 9 weeks post op and on a regular diet now. However, I am unable to eat much due to the feeling of having a lump in my throat/reflux. Even drinking is beginning to be difficult. I've tried taking Zantac, but it's not helping much. Anyone else experience this? Any suggestions? Thanks!

Ms.AntiBand 2,984 Posted February 26, 2013 I had this when I was banded. They told me it was either my body's reaction to the band, eating too fast, not chewing enough, eating too much or reflux. Maybe change your meds and try elevating the possibilities I mentioned? Always ask your doc though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LifetimeLoser 208 Posted February 26, 2013 I had this a few times. It feels like I have to burp, but can't. I looked it up on other forums...and most people said they were put on prilosec. I don't really get it anymore. I plan on discussing it with my surgeon at my next appointment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
