is it normal to always be burping i had a lapband 6 weeks ago and i had my first fill this week:help:

protonix is the newest drug for reflux. It worked great before I had my band. I didn't have to take it for about 18 mons after my surgery. then the reflux came back.

so do you think it works like nexium??? What about slippage or erosion do you know what the systoms form those are?

I had my LB surgery a week ago and I have burped more in the last week than I have in my entire life! I hope it doesn't last forever.

I have noticed sice the refulx i have lost a great deal more weight and faster. Thats why i hope i can live with it so the weight loss will continue. I was losing about 1 pound a week now it 3 or 4 pounds, for the past 2 weeks.

reflux is dangerous!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It can be a sign of a change in your band so check it out! Also reflux when frequent can be a cause for esophageal cancer! It si not a good weight loss tool!

As unladylike as it is, I am still burping more since lapband than i did before it is actually quite embarassing...sometimes hitting me at the worst of times.
