Could also mean you need a slight unfill. Your dr will figure it out

I had a random couple of days of heartburn and realized somehow that it was possibly the allergy medication I take right before I go to bed. I went to my surgeon first just to make sure and all was well (but very glad I came and told me to call any time something doesn't seem right). I stopped taking the pill right bed, switched meds to a smaller pill and it went away. I agree with line-dancer. Call and tell them you have started having issues out of the blue and see if they can fit you in. Good luck!

I have been on the same medicines for two years nothing has changed.... Well except for my anxiety meds... They switched me from cymbalta to Zoloft but that was more that a month ago.... If it continues I am definitely going to call the dr.... I just had an unfill about three weeks ago and we are really trying to get to my proper amount of Fluid that needs to be in my band.... Once I am there I think I will be so much happier and better!!!!

Sounds more like a Pouch enlargement:

Symptoms of pouch enlargement include lack of satiety, heartburn, regurgitation and occasional chest pain. The diagnosis is made with an upper gastrointestinal series.

Some have said that having an Un-fill has helped them resolve this problem, That is what helped me when I started to experience heartburn.

SLIPS:

In both types of slip,( Anterior and Posterior) the patient usually presents with dysphagia, vomiting, regurgitation and food intolerance. The diagnosis is made by upper gastrointestinal series. Complications related to band slip

      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! 😞
