Does anyone have heartburn ?

Of course i have had it the last week or so,, some chili set it off - so I got reading and find that heart burn can signal all kinds of bad things with the bad ...damn google..

Im just wondering if some banders have heartburn that is nothing more than just that..

I am eating ok,, small amounts 1/2 cup usually, not vomiting as long as i eat slow and chew chew well -- only when do i not do that do i pb and vomit...

wondering if i should be scared?

it is very common to have heartburn with the lapband. I have it and have had since about 8 months after banding,...but its getting better as I get my band loosened--as I get closer to my goal weight :(

I am not sure if what I have is heartburn. When I eat I sometimes get a pain in my chest ( particularly if I ate a little too much or too fast). If I can burp it feels much better. If I cant, it sometimes causes nausea and vomiting.

This does not sound like heartburn...sounds like a little bit of getting "stuck"...chew your food really well and take super small bites.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
