Feels like indigestion, kinda?

[Carolg903 0]

Hello all,

I was banded Tuesday 9/6 and have been doing really well. Consuming 4oz liquid/liquid food every hour I am awake, walking, walking, walking, and going back to work tomorrow. My question is this: I have this "indigestion feeling" right in the center of my chest. This sounds weird but it's like I have a 50 cent piece in there and every once in a while it turns....I know, weird. I had a small hiatal hernia repaired at the time of my banding, I'm wondering if this feeling could be from that? Last night I even took some Maalox, it seemed to help a bit but it's right back today.

Looking forward to your responses.

Carol

I was banded on 9/6 also and gas-x has been my friend!! I have already moved to Protein Shakes and Soup and that has really made me feel better. Good luck!!

I think it's a combination of the gas and the feeling of the band. I had that same feeling. Gas-x didn't do a thing for me, but everyone is different... You can try it. Also, I had to cut our the Protein Shakes once I moved on to the mushie phase... They just gave me so much gas. You'll feel better soon though. It took me a good week to get rid of the gas pains.
