I was banded in October of 2007 and every time I take an Aleve (or another NSAIDS), it burns my pouch. My supplements and Zantac don't, so I always assume it's whatever the ingredients are.

I would ask your brain surgeon about it, though--and I wish you only the best...

Hi jennhales,

I agree with you  Kate, if the pills are large in size they may get dissolve above the band that is less acidic. This can be the main cause of tissue damage. I think you should consult your surgeon to get appropriate advice.

One of my friends had adjustable gastric banding surgery, she also having the same issue. Her surgeon advised her to avoid eating and drinking at night.

Grateful for my hubby and that he will be returning to work on light duty monday from his hernia surgery. Grateful for my OH Support Group and my surgeon's support group.
