Hi.. had my lap band Jan 20th 2005. no problems at all until now. Frequent Heartburn, excessive secretions, and almost always want to vomit after I eat, "just to feel better" from the heartburn. Not overeating..and I chew chew chew.... I have moved to bland foods and soft when I can.. not a help. I started myself on Zantac.. a little help. Will see the Dr end of this month.. 1st appt I could get.. hes a new Dr for me since my relocation. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions. I would appreciate it.. thanks sharon..

I am open RNY so I have no advice for you. But I wanted to congrat you on your upcoming anniversary. You are the one first I have seen on here with the same date as me!!! Good to hear you are down so much weight. Suzanne 300/159/150

Im sorry to hear about the problems you are having. I also had my surgery on January 20, 2005. I weighed 502 when I had the surgery and now I weigh 350. I still have a long way to go though. I to am having some issues like heartburn more often and now I am having several adominal issues. I have once again another hernia, its my third by the way, and I do have another ovarian cyst on my last ovary. I have been having problems with even having an appetite, and when I do eat I feel like vomitting and I have to use the restroom after everytime I eat. I do hope that everything gets better for you.
