Ok. So 2 times today and 1 time yesterday I have gotten a slow burning pain between my chest right above the bottom of my sternum. Is this heartburn? (I never experienced heartburn before)

Any reason this might happen. I read before heartburn can mean your band is too tight howeverrrr I only have 1 cc in my band (havent had a fill yet only 4 weeks out) so that doesnt make sense.

It has happened when I ate

- an apple w/peanut butter

- ground beef with cheese

I learned real quick not to eat 1 cup of solid food at a time. So I ate 3/4 cause 1/2 usually isnt enough.

The pain in bothersome but not terrible. Its dull and lingering.

I think you and I are band buddies (6/20). I don't seem to be having heartburn, but I get a sick to my stomach feeling a few times a week. It usually happens around a meal time and then I don't want to eat anything. Weird experiences!!

I haven't had a fill yet and get the same thing. I have it almost all the time and figured it was the band?

Yay for band buddies!! I always like to find people who are banded on the same day as me so I can see where others are at and their experiences.

I have had the sick feeling too and its hard to tell if it hunger sick or just sick... I have gotten truly sick once since being banded and I did not want to eat at all. I finally settled with mashed potatoes.

It does sound like heart burn but it's really important you tell your surgeon about it at your next appointment.

Sounds like you might have eaten to fast or to big. I think it's the band your feeling then it passes through.
