Is it possible that a MD would miss a band slippage on a barrium swallow? Acid reflux was seen on my barium swallow but my MD didnt seemed to concerned. I was changed from taking nexium once a day to twice a day and I am still having bad reflux. I admit that when I have issues I tend to go for liquid foods ( ie: ice cream) and even today I had issues with ice cream. I have a constant burn right where my band is. So irritated and upset about this. Any suggestions?

dont think they can miss slippage but defiantly sounds tight.

You said an MD, is this MD also a bariatric surgeon who performs Lap-Band surgery? If not, then yes, there's a good chance he'd miss a minor slip if there was one. If he wasn't a bariatric surgeon, then I would definitely get into one for a check.

If your band slipped you would be puking your guts out. You're probably too tight go get an unfill you will feel better

I have a constant burn right where my band is.

I haven't had anything done to my band recently, but I've noticed this as well. It's not constant, but I do notice it from time to time. Feels like heartburn, only lower down than where you'd think heartburn would be. I'm thinking of going to get my band unfilled to see if there's anything left in it.
