I'm 20 days out I still get heartburn.. Eat some tums:)

Yes, chewable gas x are my faithful friends lol

Today is my one week also

Gas X strips dissolve on ur tongue and work fast . I was banded in February and I don't have that issue anymore but my first month my Dr said they were a must

For long term heartburn I'd recommend Prilosec on a daily basis. I did a lot of Tums early on but for true relief I have to take Prilosec once a day. Realize that Prilosec doesn't work instantly and does its best after it's built up in your system over a couple of days.

Lastly, make sure you know the difference between acid reflux and heartburn. Acid reflux usually happens at night and can be indicative of problems whereas daily heartburn is usually more benign in nature and can be solved with simple OTC solutions.

Thanks so much definitely was heart burn seems to have gone this morning , newly banded and kinda paranoid lol
