I was banded june 2nd and now I have had heartburn for 2 days..It's killing me.. I have used Gax -X and MyTab for the gas but It's not working... I am having little burps and they hurt bad...Anyone else have this problem????

Gas X will not help with heartburn. You should ask your doctor for a prescription for Nexium or Previcid or you can try Pepcid over the counter. My doctor has my on Nexium for a month following my surgery. I have not had heartburn yet. It has worked wonderfully.

I found Tums in individual powder packs at the store. You simply pour the powder on your tounge and it dissolves- My only wonder is, does it "collect and bind" again at your band down there? I guess if you did the pack in 3 stages, and followed with water? I don't know- I'm going to ask my Dr on Monday.
