  1. It is my esophagus right about the pouch. I have no fluid in my band. The doctor said I have to wait 3 months and get another upper G.I.
  2. I went to get a fill today after having a baby four months ago. I did an upper G.I. was told everything was OK by my primary care doctor. I go see the lap-band doctor and he says I have a dilation. He takes the remaining fluid out. Has anyone experienced this? How long does it take to correct itself. I am disappointed and scared I am going to gain ALL my weight back. Any advice welcomed.
  3. I am upset. I just had baby 4 months ago. I put on some weight and I finally went to get a fill to get back on track. After an upper G.I the doctor tells me I have a dilation. They took out the little fluid I had. Has anyone had this and did it heal on it own? How long did it take? I am worried if it doesn't correct it self I will have to have band removed. Any advice welcomed.
