Is New Heartburn Always Something Bad?



Recommended Posts

Hello All:

I posted a message a couple of days ago in the complications section, but I figured I post it here also.

I have had my band in Aug, 08 with no complications (so far) and am down 62 pounds. Starting about 3 weeks ago, I experienced occasional acid reflux at night (the worst after meat with dinner got stuck). I called my doctor to get an unfill, but I cannot get in until the end of July. I was told to do liquids for the next couple of days and see if that helps. I haven't noticed any "acid" the past couple of nights, but still wake up with the heartburn chest feeling. After I wake up, I go into panic mode in the middle of the night which I know the stress does not help the band.

Has anyone been helped by doing liquids for a couple of days to rest the stomach without getting an unfill? I don't know what else to try before I can get in to the doctor.

Any help would be great! Thanks, Dee
