heartburn & chest pain - help?

[Georgia T 6]

I am 6 weeks post op & have intense heartburn/chest pain ... what can cause this? I didn't over eat. Any ideas how to alleviate the discomfort?

Are you having a stuck episode? They usually last 45 minutes or so? Did you vomit?

I just got banded tuesday so I'm sure the discomfort I'm getting is caused by other reasons, but I would try a heating pad. That's what has been keeping me sane! Good luck!

i think this was my first stuck experience. I had a bit of fizzy pop & some Gas X & finally calmed down....(I didn't know stress tightens the band) and I felt a whole lot better. Today I'm going to take it easy with soft foods & smoothies.
