Ive had my lapband for eight years and in the last 4 months my heartburn is really bad even with meds and i have a hard time swallowing and taking pills. I had an endoscopy and it said both of those things are from the band, so I saw my lapband Dr. Today and he unfilled my band and I go back in two weeks for an upper gi and if im doing ok he will put some more Fluid in but it may be removed. Has anyone else had these complications and how was it resolved?
