I've had my lapband for a few years now. Lost 90-100lbs or so. Over the last couple weeks I've had heart burn with almost every substance I take. Drinks / food. Also been having stomach pain from time to time. Little freaked out so I thought I would get some insight here.

I was having this same problem and spoke with the NP yesterday. She said to take Prilosec each day for 7-10 days, to have full liquids for a couple days and to limit spicy foods, caffeine and alcohol for a week.

The Prilosec has made a HUGE difference. I haven't had any heartburn since I started taking it a couple days ago.

She said the stomach lining in the pouch can become irritated and these changes can help it settle down.

Good luck!

I am a doom and gloom queen and think you should call your surgical practice...I have some concerns about a slip or a hiatal hernia.
