Burning feeling especially when I drink something



Recommended Posts

I had my Lapband surgery in November 08 and couldn't be happier. I have lost 52 pounds to date. The past week I have been feeling like I have bit of a sour stomach. Kept wondering what it could be. And then last night I ate something and I PB'ed bad. It went on for 30 minutes. And then I actually threw up very bad. I hurt all last night. There is pressure on my chest, burning in my sternum and soreness where my port is. Today I feel the same, soreness by the port, and burning in my sternum area, especially when I drink something. I called the Dr and go see him this afternoon. Just wondering if anyone else experience this. I wonder what it could be?:thumbup:

I am having that burning feeling as I type. It's been a long day. As soon as I take one drink or bite of food I feel it.

How did you appt go? did you get any information? I'm curious to know if it's serious!

Well come to find out my band had slipped from all the throwing up I had did. The burning feeling ended up being some gastritis more than likely caused by the band. It makes you have acid reflux symptoms, chest pains and you throw up. Doctor put me on some ACiphex and Gaviscon. It has helped some. Definitely talk to your Doctor about the burning feeling just to be safe, it could be a sign of something serious.

What does the doc do when the band slips? I am just 3 weeks post surgery and am concerned about that...not any specific reason I'm concerned, it is just one of the things that has been on my mind a lot.

Usually surgery is needed to reposition the band. However I have heard that it could slip back into place after a complete unfill and some time on a liquid diet only. However I don't know if that completely fixes the problem because isn't the bad sutured onto the stomach? Not sure though.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
