  1. I feel exactly the same way minus the lap band being a mistake....but the pain from (gerd) or (gas) is severe. Ive tried to explain to my love ones that its not the lap band placement that is bothering me but its the (acid reflux). I feel like im also unable to burp and I have my momments that it seems that my chest is going to crack and fall to the floor. I also have trouble taking deep breaths. Its been four days now and nothing is helping...I am new to the website but happy that it does exist because some one was nice enough to let me know that it will go away it takes about 5 days....so i make 5days tomorrow:) but as far as you are concerned I want you to know that we are on the same boat and just keep the results of the lapband in mind....thats what is getting me pass the pain that I am experiencing now...so just stay focused and think about your goal. I am pretty sure you went thru alot to get this procedure done.
  2. thanks so much for the advice...its been four days so hopefully it will go away soon.
  3. hi...I was banded on 8/3/09 and I also had a hiatal hernia repair. I dont know if its just me but I have severe discomfort in my chest area(acid reflux) and Im unable to keep the shakes down...do you have any replacement options? and when do you think the acid reflux will go away????
