June 22nd will be my 2 year lapband anniversary, to date I have lost 60 pounds and feel like it was the best decision I have ever made. I know that I could lose more if I were to make better food choices. Lately I have started to notice a strange noise coming from my stomach, almost a bubbly sound yet not a burp. Also now if I lay down within an hour of eating it seems to come back up and causes severe heartburn which is also I new symptom I have been having. I have to take prilosec for relief which is something I have never had to do. Not eating anything new, nothing spicy, no carbonation. Any ideas? Anyone having same problems??

Thanks!!

Go back to the Dr . could be a band problem..... better to know...... this reflux business is nothing to mess with.......................Try the post op diet and see if that works while waiting for Dr appt. about 5 days on that should help.

^{I'm 2 years out also this June. Reflux is a sign of being too tight. I'd definately make an apointment. Like anything else, problems caught early enough are easier resolved. Good Luck!}

Thanks for the responses although I haven't had a fill for over a year and my band is close to complete fill. I will call Monday and make an appointment
