Esophageal Dialation

[dszs1 0]

I went to get a fill today after having a baby four months ago. I did an upper G.I. was told everything was OK by my primary care doctor. I go see the lap-band doctor and he says I have a dilation. He takes the remaining Fluid out. Has anyone experienced this? How long does it take to correct itself. I am disappointed and scared I am going to gain ALL my weight back. Any advice welcomed.

Yes, my pouch has been dilated a couple of times. You have to just stay on liquids for a week or two whichever the doctor told you. Then mushies and solid food. It is very hard to try and maintain when you know you can eat much more but it is doable. Good luck.

Is it your pouch or esophagus that's dilated?

My doc says liquid. Yogurt type good for 2 days.it often helps but is hard to live with dilation. Especially. On a very long term. Any others have helpful hints?.

It is my esophagus right about the pouch. I have no Fluid in my band. The doctor said I have to wait 3 months and get another upper G.I.
