Greetings!

I am postop almost one year and am filled at 2.5 cc in a 4.0 band. I received my last fill about 3 months ago and while I was pretty tight, I had no discomfort to speak of. As a matter of fact, I've been really blessed and have not vomited, PB'd, or experienced any other malady due to my band, BUT for the past 3 weeks or so I have been experiencing a very marked sour stomach as soon as I begin eating and then afterward. I've tried eating less, eating slower, adjusting the type of food, but if I make contact with food, I have this experience.

My question is, is this something I should be concerned about or is it acid reflux? When I had surgery, I had a hernia repaired and have had ZERO reflux symptoms since then so this is unusual. I've done some reading here, but it doesn't seem to be consistent with a slip? Just wanted to see if anyone has any words of wisdom before I seek out my physician's advice.

Thanks!

I haven't come across any posts that directly address this situation, perhaps you should direct your question to Dr. C....I'm sure he can help you.

Good luck, hope everything works out okay for you.

Kelli darl, sorry to hear of your sour stomach...I agree with Woodys perhaps start another thread and direct it to DR. C he can probably help. I hope all sorts itself out quickly for you. keep us posted

:eek: becky

I had the same syptoms. I took Pepcid AC for a couple of days and haven't had the reflux return for 6 months. I would start there. You probably have acid reflux for sure. Good luck.
