Is Heartburn Normal After an Adjustment?

mcooper0565
Had the lapband surgery August 08, 2012 with start weight 389. Now 2 months post op and I'm down to 351 pounds. Just had my second adjustment and I'm having major heartburn for over a week now. Is this normal. I'm not able to eat solid foods at all. I'm only taking in fluids and soft foods.
