So I had my fill (or fill removal) a couple of weeks ago. I feel so much better except for heart burn.

Before I had my surgery - January 2009 - I had heart burn a lot. After the surgery it was gone! Awesome.

But since I was sick over a month ago and now that my band is more open I am still having horrible horrible heart burn. To the point of making me nauesious. So I am now taking nexium or some off brand of it to help. I just don't know why I am having such bad heart burn. It sucks.

Anywho - About why I was so sick in the first place and what happened at my fill. FillCenters USA doctor guy said that I must have had something completely stuck in my band which made me terribly sick. And my stomach was inflamed and swelled up causing my band to seem like it had shrunk. As soon as they stuck the needle in my port 2 cc of saline popped out b/c of the force of my stomach and the band. They were like - wow that is a lot! So had my UGI and everything looked good after that.

I am eating but like I said the heart burn is not good at all. I hope once my stomach relaxes and the swelling goes down - which he said could be up to 2 months or more - that my heart burn will go away again.

Ok - that's all for now.
