Question:
Does anyone know whether indigestion feeling is normal?
HI, I had my surgery this past Tuesday, the 29th. I was feeling fine until yesterday and I started feeling like I have constant indigestion. Is this normal until my body gets used the band, or should I call my doctor. — Donna B. (posted on July 31, 2008)

Your digestive trackt was just altered two days ago. Indigestion is
possible due to your digestive tract re-adjusting and the fact too that
you're probably on only liquids. Nausea, strange noises from your abdomen
are possible after WLS. Unless you're in pain, or vomit everything you
swallow, including water, then I would not worry. You may also feel weaker
than normal and tired for the first 4-5 weeks after surgery. DAVE

Hi Donna,
The indigestion you are feeling my be air that you have been swallowing.
I had lots of belching and flatulence post lap band surgery. I was a
walking one woman band! That is subsiding. Thank goodness! The best way
for processing is walking, walking and more walking. Best of Luck!

Thanks to all who have responded to my question. I just wasn't sure what
to expect at this point post op because my doctor did not tell me.
