Has anyone had this before , I have been banded about 7 months. I have started waking up with a bubbling burning feeling in my chest. It dose not hurt but i can only describe it as a burning sensation. Then i feel gassy all day, small little burps. I also feel like i have a sore scratchy or tight feeling throat all day. This sounds like acid reflux but i dont know how that is possible with a band. I still have restriction. Soooo any ideas?

Acid reflux is very possible with the band, I suffer from it here and there.. But it's always good to get these things checked out by a dr..

Good Luck

You do indeed have acid reflux, AKA "heartburn". Your band is likely too tight. You need a barium swallow test under fluoro. Check with your doctor ASAP.

Inflammation of the esophagus can be serious, long-term. It can lead to Barrett's Esophagus, which is a precursor of esophageal cancer.
