I went to my Dr. about 2 weeks ago and he told me that it look like my band had slipped and also have a hiatal hernia. I have no fill in my band but food still get stucks in my esophagus somtimes and my stomach feels like it is on fire sometimes, I drank lemonade today and it almost killed my stomach so do you guys think i might have a stomach ulcer along with all the other, i am worried that there may be erosion or something worse, am i just paranoid or what? Please i need advice.

Thanks

:help: :help:

it sure does not sound good that is for sure. I would go back to hte doctor and ask to be checked for erosion and see if after the unfill the band is back where it is suppose to be. hope you get better soon.

wk,

I think your symptoms can totally be explained by your situation, that is a slip with a hiatal hernia. The good news is, once it's fixed you'll be good as new!

Good luck,

And stay away from acidic foods/drinks such as lemonade or tomato soup or V8? That might help. Good luck...keep us posted!

How do you know if your band has slipped? How long have you had your band in?

How do you know if your band has slipped? Does that happen often? I have a really bad burning sensation if I move the wrong way or bend. It is not near an incision, it this just a nerve, that needs to heal? I am three weeks post op. No fever, everything else is great. All my incisions have healed great.
