I have never had heart burn prior to surgery. I ate some meat loaf and yams and feel like crap. Ever since last night I have had a burning in my chest. My band also feels really tight. I was stupid and woke up this morning and had a small slice of meat loaf. I am thinking about taking it easy today on my band and having only clear liquids. Gosh as I type this I feel like I am going to throw up. Could my band have slipped??

I think it would actually be more painful than that if the band had slipped. I'm guessing what you're eating either isn't going down or is disagreeing with your stomach. What about sipping some liquids to help it go down? I'm having heartburn too, but I was eating foods that are acidic and was drinking coffee. My surgeon recommended some Prilosec otc. Supposedly heartburn can be a side effect since the new pouch is so much smaller, hence more sensitive to the foods you put in it... Good luck and feel better!
