Burning feeling by band

dbeers · October 18, 2009

I was banded on March 4 and have been doing very well. I had one fill 3cc back in April and have not had one since. I continue to lose weight so the dr feels I do not need another one. It started about 6 weeks ago having a burning feeling around where my band is. I was to the dr 3 weeks ago and they told me to take over to counter ant-acid pills to see if it helps. They told me that it is not because I'm overfilled. They also want me to come back in a month and if it is not better they will do more tests. I started taking Pepci AC and it worked great the first week or so, but the last two days the pain is coming back.

The pain is not bad just a very light burning feeling and it worries me. I'm not throwing up and I can eat with no problems. Afraid my band has slipped. I never really had heart burn so not sure if this is what it is. Anyone else have this problem.
