Last night while I was googling "slipped lap band symptoms" I came across a blog or something where the person said that sometimes, if it's a bad time of year for pollen, and allergies, and sinus issues, it can cause your esophogous to swell. It may have been here where I read it....it was late! Does any one know if there is any truth to this???

Ok, update: just left the doctor! He did a barium swallow and said everything looked great, no laddy taffy stuck (whew), and no slippage! He did take out .2cc and wants to see me back in 1 mo. He said this just happens sometimes, and it's nothing I did or could fix! Thanks for everybody's input! Now I'm sitting at Atlanta bread company all byy lonesome, having a yummy bowl of French onion soup!!

I've my tried raw eggs, just because the thought I it gross's me out! I can however eat egg drop soup from the Chinese rest. But any time I've tried to scramble, fry, or eat hard boiled eggs, they usually come back up! I may get down 1 scrambled egg white if I eat it really slowly, but that's not even worth it to get out my frying pan!!

Thanks! I'm waiting until 9am to call when they are open! I did ind out in January that my doctor is no longer working with the hospital and their bariatric program. They have a new coordinator and surgeon. So I know it won't be hard to switch when the time comes. Good thing about working in the medical field and in a huge medical community, I hear things! So latest I've heard is that his hearts not in it anymore, and he doesn't seem to care as much!

I have problems with every type of eggs! Which stinks!!! I would wait a few days to see if it loosens a little! I have had that problem in te past and after a few days it got better, or I would get a fill and have no more restriction than I did before, then after about 3 or 4 days, I would suddenly notice that I had more restriction! Good luck!

Thanks! I plan on calling tomorrow, but I'm so irritated by his response yesterday, I dot even want to call him back! He kept saying "your not too tight, I don't want to take any saline out". Well no crap...I don't want you to take anything out, but I also dont want my hair to start falling out! So should I demand a barium swallow before him taking saline out??

I've had my lap band since August 2011! I've had about 4 fills now, so I think I have a little more than 8cc in it.y last fill was in January. Suddenly, last Friday I started to notice I couldn't eat as much, then Saturday I ate less. Now today, I can't eat anything solid. When I went to my dr. yesterday, he told me I needed to work through it on my own, that he thinks it's something I'm not chewing well enough or not drinking 4oz before meals. Now tonight, after I threw up my chicken broth I had a pain at my band/port sight for a while. Has my band slipped, or do I have something stuck inundate pouch???
