Help! I have been banded since April 2008 and have lost 72 lbs. :w00t: I had my last fill of only 1/2 cc in December. I have a 14 cc band and a total of 11 cc in. Since then, I've had terrible heartburn! I was taking Zantac and Prilosec everyday, which was helping. When I didn't take it, the heartburn came back. I went in today for a follow up and told him what was going on. The hearburn is worse at night after dinner. I haven't thrown up, and no pain. He thinks I'm either to tight or have a slippage. How do you know you have a slippage? Vomiting? Pain? He unfilled me and I have to see him next week. I just don't know what to do, I've finally found something that is working for me and I've screwed this up!
