I have been banded since 09/15/08- The first few weeks were great- I thought I was doing wonderful- Then about a week and a half ago I started getting these really terrible gas pains in my chest- I am constantly burping (sorry) but it really brings no relief- I started taking maalox and drinking chamomile tea, which did help the gas pains but now over a week and a half later I still do not feel right. I am not at all hungry- When I try to eat, i can just get in a very few bites and it feels like its stuck in the back of my throat. Even liquid feels like it sits in the back of my throat before actually going down- My surgeon sent me to a Gastro and now I have an endoscopy scheduled for tomorrow afternoon. I am hoping this is something as simple as acid reflux, but I really have no idea- Does any of this seem familiar to anyone- I appreciate any advice. :sad_smile:
