seriously questioning dr test

I went to my dr for a fill and she said the thought my esoghous (spelling) was streched, and that i didnt really need a fill. So she procedded to have me swallow a whole mouth full of barrium and then take exrays to see if the fulid went down. Im at 3.4 in a 4cc band. I took a huge drink and swallowed down in one big gulp. she started the xrays that showed the liquid going down and then bouncing back up cause it hit the band, she then proceeded to say "see its streched cause it bounced back up, it should go right down". I became upset...my mind raced oh no ive done something wrong. She suggested a complete unfill where then I panicked and ran out of the room to my car and left,( no way in hell was i being unfilled) Then I started thinking that test doesnt seam right. of couse its gonna bounce back up im fairly tight and isnt it like a funnel u add a lot of liquid it will go down just slowly. So the question is am I missing something? Do I not understand the test? Any information on if im right or wrong would be so appricated.

Did she get a picture of your pouch? Can't tellnthat from your post. If she did and it's stretched then you need an unfill, unless you want further surgery... You decide. I, personally, have been there, done that.
