Burning Pain

Hi. I had surgery on 8/1/06 and my first fill was 1.4 cc on 9/14/06 (more than 6 weeks after surgery)

I have been havinf a lot of pain with solids and it has nothing to do with my band being too tight (I dont think). As soon as I swallow any solids food, no matter how well I chew, it gives me immediate hearburn. From feeling like hard stabbing pain to the burn that feels liek a fire. And its all from my throat to top of stomach. I feel this pain way before the food would have had time to reach my stomach so I know its not directly about the band rtestriction. I cannot eat any solids til late afternoon and only after Ive eaten liquids or mushies every three hours before hand.

Has anyone experienced this? Can you give me some advice or insight? I have not been able to speak with my surgeon yet.

Thank you soo much. Im so uncomfortable :-(

PS when I can finally eat, I do not feel much restriction at all. I'm definately not at my "sweet spot".

"Not your average bear."

wonder if your throat got really scratched during surgery. You should contact your surgeon's office regarding this.
