April 20, 201016 yr Hi Dr Jossart I had terrible heartburn with the band, it was pretty much uncontrollable with protonic, pepcid and tums(all in the same day) I had a complete unfill the first of March and the hearburn is now staying in control with just a daily over the counter pepcid. Can you give me an idea of what will happen with my heartburn after I have my sleeve surgery? Thank you in advance, Lisa
