I was recently having really bad reflux and night and went for an unfill. I was extremly tight. When I drank the liquid is showed nothing moving past my band. My Dr. took out 1.75cc and said my pouch was dialated. Will this go away or am I going to have this problem long term. I am to go back next week for a fill because I have little to no restriction.I will be two weeks since my unfill.

Any advice is great I have been worrying alot about the dialated pouch.

Thanks again for taking your time to help us.

The most important thing in this type of situation would be to rule out a slip. If you were my patient I'd probably try filling you again a little bit, and if no symptoms occur then all is well. If symptoms again, then probably I'd do another upper GI and possibly a scope as well. I've seen this a fair amount though, where you just unfill for awhile and all is well.

Good luck,

Thanks for your help. My Dr. said that my band looked in good position and everything looked fine except for the pouch. I am just a little paranoid know because I dont want to loose my band.

Thanks again.
