Alas...It Was Just A Temporary Fix...

The symptoms got better for a short while, but flared up again, so I had an upper GI series. Could barely choke the barium down and ended up vomiting it up several hours later. Met with my surgeon's PA who reviewed the films. The band looks like it's in the right place, but there was an area of concern which might indicate the band has partially eroded. I was asked if I was "wedded" to my band - not if it's eroding my body parts! Now the surgeon wants to do an EGD. Guess this is usually done at the same time as they go in to effect any repairs or removal, but mine will be done as a "look see" as the surgeon doesn't think the problem is serious...

*Reflux is back

*Vomiting

*Still can't eat with a bra on

*Still takes an hour to get a meal down

*Still have to more or less stand to eat

...but hey, none of that is serious...can't wait to do my next business lunch, where I whip off my bra and stand through the entire meal!
