I am nine months out and I just had a fill last week. I am having heart burne all the time. I haven't had it at all since being banded. I am wondering if things will just mellow out as my stomache heals. Doc added an other whole cc to my band. Any thoughts?

p.s. I am paying for all my own postop care, so a unfull is not really something I want to do, but i will if I have to.

Mandjo, I'm confused. Did you just get the heartburn after your last fill? If so it may mean that you are too tight. I would try some prilosec (spelling) better yet Zantac is much better. If that doesn't work you will need a slight unfill. Good luck.

I'd call your band doc and let him know, that's one of the questions that my doc said will raise a red flag. Could mean you're too tight....

I have had 3 other fills. This is the first time I have had heart burn with a fill. But since I posted this, it is getting better. Funny how that works.

Give it a chance to relax, but if you aren't better in a day or two I would go get an unfill
