I live in remote Alaska... So I need to REALLY know for sure if I need to be checked.... Because of where I live, I had surgery and came back to AK. I had 1 fill that was 2 12 years ago.... I struggled much but still managed to lose 100lbs... I since have had another fill... It has been 8 days and I am back in AK... I am having HEART BURN like crazy... I am having trouble with food in general and liquids sometimes... My stomache is VERY upset.... I am wondering if there is something the matter or if it is irrated because of the fill... or if I had eated too much at night and that is why trouble every day? I have done the whole, soft liguides, foods.. am I just impatient? or is there too tight (I have 2.4 cc.) Or it has been so long that I forgot.? I am never any good at following the rules.. I am living on milk, and chocolate right now... I can not just jump on a plane... But I have a sneaking suspision that I had a slippage a long time ago and now it is just surfacing because of the fill... OR am I being impatient??? I guess I can deal with not eating much at all and the pain nausea.. its the heart burn that is killing me.... :drool:

One of the signs of being too tight is acid reflux ( heartburn). I would go back to all liquids and see the Dr. as soon as you can.

a slight unfill usually makes a big difference.

Heartburn is a sign of being too tight. There are only a couple remedies. One is medication and the other one is a slight unfill. The slight unfill .3 worked for me. Good luck.
