Heartburn Pain ?

Kelsy · July 5, 2007

Hey,

I recevied my second fill last Thursday and during my appointment the doctor had asked If i had any vomiting or heartburn and I said no, because I haven't.

NOW.. .I have been getting a lot of heart burn after I eat.. Yesterday it started and again today. It's really painful and feels like chest pain. I took a tum yesterday and it was better.. .Now here at work, I ate an egg and am experiencing the SAME heart burn feeling..

What is that?? I thought I'd ask here first before I called the doctor. :help:

Kelsy - I think heartburn is pretty common, although I don't know what causes it. The bigger concern would be if you started having reflux. That would mean your band is too tight.

ok thank you!

it doesn't last long, but I wanted to be sure it wasn't too tight.

I wonder if it may be too tight, I am eating SLOW, taking my time and chewing... But it's like the first COUPLE of bites and I feel it.

I will do even smaller portions and go even slower and see if it helps. If not, I guess I'll call my doctor.. Band MAY be too tight.

Heartburn is an interesting thing amongst bandsters. Some people who had it frequently, don't get it after being banded (me), some people who never had it before being banded, get it after being banded. For me, the only 2 times I have had heartburn was once when I was too tight with my fill, and once when I took Aleve for the tendinitis in my wrist.

Since your doctor asked you about it specifically, you may want to mention it to him.
