Acid Reflux/heartburn - Possible Slip?



Recommended Posts

I have a doctor appointment later this week but I was curious in the meantime. For the last week, I've had either acid reflux or heartburn. A few days were pretty bad and others were mild. I'm nervous I've had a slip of the band. I'm not sure how common this is and I don't think I have any bad habits that would cause the band to slip. Anyone in or has been in a similiar situation - did you have a slip or did you have acid reflux without a slip?

Acid Reflux is a sign of a too tight band. You don't have a slip, if you did you wouldn't be able to keep anything down. If you keep your band too tight for too long, it could lead to one though. Have your doctor loosen you up a little at your appt this week. You'll be fine!

I also had it when I ate too late at night. Better if I stop eating at 8:00 pm...

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
