Heart Burn.... Why?



Recommended Posts

I want to know if anyone has any commonalities with this situation. ....

I had a fill last July all went well til October when I had heart burn 3 days in a row.... and a small unfill.... all goes well til February of this year when I spend 2 days vomiting... removed all my Fluid for 2 weeks to let everything rest.... had a fill 10 days ago and everything has been good since but today I have heart burn again.

So back on liquids til I can see the surgeon monday for an unfill.....

I am frustrated because I have to keep being on liquids and feel like I am going backwards. How does my band keep getting tight when I'm not having adjustments?

I have a hard time following the sequence of how fills and heartburn coincide? You didn't say anything about being tight, you just say you have heartburn? Is the heartburn and tightness happening simultaneously? Do you associate heartburn with tightness and is it difficult to drink fluids or eat soupy foods?

Yes tightness correlated with heart burn and my surgeon says anytime I have heart burn it is a tight band.

That is my question how I am I getting so tight when I'm not having fills recently before?

I am seeing my surgeon monday and will have an unfill and he says he will answer all these questions. Just curious if anyone has had this before when you are 3 months post fill and then tight.

Let's hope he does a barium swallow to make sure your band is where it should be.

      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.
