I was just had a gastrosopcy. The diagnosis was slipped band and dilated esophagus. My Bariatric Doctor left a note for my saying to follow up with him in his office for a complete unfill. Has anyone else had this diagnosis?

Yes, I had to be completely unfilled due to a slippage last year, I remained unfilled for two months and gained about five lbs. The slippage repaired itself; however. Since then I'm constantly experiencing tightness after fills and having to be unfilled two weeks out of getting my feel. I'm actually in that way right now and will be calling my surgeons office in the morning. Keep in touch with your surgeon.

How did you know something was wrong? Couldn't keep anything down? Pain?

Both, I wasn't able to even keep down water and the pain was horrible. Immediately after being unfilled I was fine an my band repositioned itself and after two months of being opened I got my 1st fill. I'm@ 5.5ccs now but I'm calling my surgeon in the morning because I'm tight again and unable to keep anything down not even liquids. I thought it was reflux and tried acid reducers but they've been coming back up as well. Reconsidering this band and preparing for another option. Too painful and embarrassing always having to leave the table or the room to go puke.
