Lapband out and having burning



Recommended Posts

I had started having burning in my stomach in August. I had the lapband out and was getting it revised to a sleeve but I had a lot of scaring so they said come back in 4-6 months for the sleeve. Since I have had the band out I am still having burning from my throat to my stomach. I had a upper GI series and it showed nothing. Not even reflux. I had a EDG in August and they said it was normal then. I am due to have another one on Friday. I have been put on 7 PPI,s and none have worked. I am on an antibiotic and that's not doing it either. Has anyone had this and if so what did you do? Help I am desperate for this burning to stop. I feel like I am on fire all the time.

Did they test for H Pylori? I know that can cause burning.

Yes, they tested me for that. I was just reading on the internet that a lot of people are experienced much worse things than I am. And this is hell. Has anyone had this and been helped

Fins all the pain has stopped. My doctor gave me Nystatin and it took care of the burning. I also drank a lot of kifir. Took Probiotics. I never had reflux, that why none of the 7 acid blockers they gave me never worked. None of the 10 doctors I saw could figure it out until I went back to my PCP. My tongue was white and he figured it out. I did show the other doctors my tongue and they said it was nothing

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
