@@nowornever14, I had the same issue, I removed the band and I did revision after 8 months, unfortunately I did not know and dr as well that I have pseudo achalasia , now 7 weeks out of the revision to sleeve and still food is getting stuck . Dr mentioned that I need to wait additional 5 weeks and do another test to see the results. Can you update me on your case? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

@@NoMoBand thank you for your points . I was wondering if you had the same issue due to hernia earlier.also have u had any issue with reflux pre operations? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

@@NoMoBand, how is it going with you? Since we are having the case, I did X-ray to check , all is ok, except the esophagus which is still dilated ,lower part of it , and the doctor in his report mentioned a large hernia . Have you faced such thing? I'm still having a delay of food passage from esophagus to stomach and I feel pain a bit while the food pass. What about u? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hello all, I've been sleeved on the 15th of March , I am a bit worried about leak as I used to have band and moved to sleeve into two separate operations. Today I'm 4 weeks post-op . When leak risk will resume or disappear? Looking forward to hear from you Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

&jnt1 thank you I did the surgery in Lebanon and currently in dubai , I contacted my dr and till now all is going well . Sometimes I feel I am eating more than supposed to and sometimes less . Does anyone has an issue with tomato Soup as I find it heavy . Also, what I found out from other threads that people with enlarged esophagus tend to eat more and lose weight slower and less than others? Is it correct?

They did not give me any medicine . Dunno why , still I feel food getting stuck . He said it will resolve within coming days . When you were over it ? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

@@JamieLogical thank you so much . Just what worries is coming from the history of band with esophagus enlargement and I don't know if it is spasm which will resume by its own or a stricture which I don't know . Thank you Jamie Moe Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
