I have the worst heart burn! anyone else have this problem? I have not been filled in weeks.. could it just be a regular heart burn for some reason?

Do you feel like acid is coming up your throat? Is there pain?

Have you ever had reflux before?

I'm dealing with now. Well, I have been for the past two years and I've only been banded 3 years. I've developed some major complications despite an empty band (it's been empty for over a year, and I continue to pop Zantacs and Tums like candy). I had a scope done which showed some really nasty erosions and stuff in my esophage. I'm getting the band out a week from tomorrow, as I'm sick of the ocmplications. Please talk to your doctor.

Yes, I have always had reflux. I actually have always taken meds for reflux, even before the band. It is not worse than it was before. This is the second time that I have had this reflux. Doc said I could be eating too fast or my band is too tight. I just wanted to get an opinion here. Should I go back to liquid for a bit?

Well the good news is, I think its what I ate. I tried sushi again for the first time since my surgery. I had 3 tuna rolls with sriracha sauce on it! ugh! spicy chili sauce. The heartburn started after that. I chewed well and only ate a few. I think that is what did it. I will just take it easy tonight and see what happens tonight.
