I got banded on the 16th, and now when I eat anything, like pudding, or an popsicle since I am still liquids I get heartburn when I lay down. The surgeon said he fixed my hernia and that would stop, any suggestions?

It could be from the swelling, you were just banded 3 days ago.

I would get some Zantac 150 and take it both morning and night, see if that doesn't help.

and don"t lay down after you eat !

I still on clear liquids on I was banded the 15th. & i Don't switch to full liquid till mon/tues. Looking forward to pudding for sure. Was feeling great till last night, now I'm moving slow again:(
