Heart Burn.... Why?



Recommended Posts

I want to know if anyone has any commonalities with this situation. ....

I had a fill last July all went well til October when I had heart burn 3 days in a row.... and a small unfill.... all goes well til February of this year when I spend 2 days vomiting... removed all my Fluid for 2 weeks to let everything rest.... had a fill 10 days ago and everything has been good since but today I have heart burn again.

So back on liquids til I can see the surgeon monday for an unfill.....

I am frustrated because I have to keep being on liquids and feel like I am going backwards. How does my band keep getting tight when I'm not having adjustments?

I have a hard time following the sequence of how fills and heartburn coincide? You didn't say anything about being tight, you just say you have heartburn? Is the heartburn and tightness happening simultaneously? Do you associate heartburn with tightness and is it difficult to drink fluids or eat soupy foods?

Yes tightness correlated with heart burn and my surgeon says anytime I have heart burn it is a tight band.

That is my question how I am I getting so tight when I'm not having fills recently before?

I am seeing my surgeon monday and will have an unfill and he says he will answer all these questions. Just curious if anyone has had this before when you are 3 months post fill and then tight.

Let's hope he does a barium swallow to make sure your band is where it should be.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
