Heartburn issues

Hey everyone!

Had my surgery in August and have been losing a nice amount of weight and have had ZERO issues with my band (yay!) (knock on wood!)

However, for the past month I have been suffering from heartburn. It's not consistent so I manage it, but its definitely a real pain.

I don't have reflux, and I don't think i'm too tight

It was really bad last night when I was laying flat....

Anyone have any advise?

Anyone have any recommendations for good/band friendly heartburn meds?

Thanks

      Nooo don't get nervous! It's probably nothing. But, it's always better safe than sorry and (God forbid) something isn't right the sooner it's caught the easier it's fixed.

      I know you don't think you're too tight, but heartburn and/or reflux are a red flag when you have the band. They can be a sign of being too tight or even a slip. Plus, left untreated it can lead to
