Best to : Consult with your lap band doctor. This may be a reason to consider something more permanent, like a sleeve gastrectomy.

Indigestion: That is one dilemma you can get into with bands. If you develop reflux, some fluid usually needs to be removed which can affect your ability to lose weight. Now, if you have a hiatal hernia, having surgery to fix that can solve the reflux problem and allow the band to be kept tight. You'll need an UGI and/or egd to see if you have a hiatal hernia.
