Heartburn! Band too tight?

For the past few weeks, I have started having more and more heartburn and acid reflux. I have not had a fill since May 2016. I am still losing weight, able to eat soft foods, just incredible heartburn! But during the past week, I cannot seem to tolerate soft or solid foods, just puree and liquids. Is it possible my band is too tight? You would think after not having it filled since May that it would naturally relax some? Does stress have any influence on the acid reflux, heartburn and constant feeling of being full?

The activity of a band can change at any time. Your band may or may not be the cause of your heartburn. It may be a contributing factor or not. The possibilities are nearly endless. If I were you describing what you're experiencing, I'd make an appt with my surgery practice and not bother with speculating. It may well be that taking a very small amount of Fluid out will solve the problem.

Also be sure not to lie down for at least a few hours after eating.
