banded 4 months starting to get a little heartburn

[Angi281 77]

I had surgery in end of November 2013 and have had two adjustments last one was 5 weeks ago. I've lost 46 lbs and I can eat approx 1/2 cup to 1 full cup of food. Or more depending on what it is (sliders try to avoid) all of a sudden in the last week I'm getting heart burn after I eat (none a night) I don't think I'm eating spicy food so I'm baffled. I thought at first it was sore throat because I get reflexive swallowing since banding (allergies I think) I don't know what's going on. Anyone else go thru this?

How many cc's do you have in your band? Try papaya enzymes from GNC they work wonders!!!

Did you already have Fluid in your band?

I don't know about everyone else but I have been on Prilosec since surgery. I haven't had one bit of heartburn or reflux. and I eat spicy. love spicy. call your doctor and see what he says. may have to check for placement. hope you feel better soon
