hi i have been baned since oct.06. i just now have started having problems with my band. let me start by saying that my surgeon was wonderful. but he is in dallas amd i am near austin,tx. i hocked my house to have this done and now i am freaking out a bit because i don't have alot of money to get this fixed . i just recently started having regurgitation at night, not every night but when i eat too late and then go to bed.it wakes me up gasping for air and consequently some fluids go down my lungs. not much but a little.not to mention i get no sleep because i get scared. after reading a bit on this problem it seems as though i might have esophogeal dilation.i'm trying to find out if there is anything that i can do to solve this, without having to go to the doctor, in dallas. my sister who has also had the band says that i need to go get my fill removed.is that true? if anyone has any advice on this please let me know. bless you'all scared in austin, dottie
