My first blog entry.....New to this whole environement....I know this is still early however, a slight bit of panic is setting in. Question: Can I chew a tums to get rid of this burning in my lower breast bone area?

Hi Nancy, and welcome. A Tums should be fine, I even use them as a calcium supplement in a pinch. When were you banded? It sounds like it was recent. Be sure to check the instructions you received from your doctor, because we all get different rules. I hope you're feeling better soon.
