Is it normal to have a heart burn like pain nearly constantly. It usually only lasts 2-3 seconds but it is throughout the day. Usually when I burp or my stomach spasms a bit. It feels like soreness at the band site. It is starting to bother me 9 days post op. and i think perhaps that the pain meds i was taken up until 7 days post op were keeping it minimal and thats why i didnt notice it.

Its really really starting to bother me. I am thinking of going and taking some Extra Strenght Tylenol or something cause its hard to function being in pain all day.

Just a note its not constant pain and its not excruciating by any means its just a semi dull heartburn like pain at the bottom of my throat.

Any insight would be much appreciated!

I would definately call your doctor. I stopped taking the pain meds about day four and never experienced that pain but it is different for everyone. The only one who can tell you for sure is your doctor.

Good Luck.

I have the same problem. It just started today 5 days post op. I don't feel good at all. I also stopped taking my pain meds. I am going to go back on tonight when i get ready for bed. I have my first appt with my doctor on wednesday so I was going to talk to them to see whats up. I am on a nexium generic but i'm not sure if its working or if its something else.
