Heartburn

Help has anyone had heartburn 4 weeks out from surgery? I am 8 weeks banded and take it anymore. I take an antacid every morning and nothing is helping. What have other people done? Do I need to have my band removed:(

    Heartburn with the band is typically associated with being too tight and overeating, but you are unlikely to be too tight so soon after surgery. It's also highly unlikely that you would need your band out because of heartburn. You really need to get medical advice so make an appointment to see your dr.

    and good luck
