SNAFU. Calling Dr. C

I was banded on 1/19/07. Nothing has gone normally and my surgeon has never had a case like mine, so he says. After surgery I was way too restricted, and had trouble taking in fluids. I had an esophogram and was told by my surgeon that the band looked too tight and the lower stomach was distended and not emptying properly. Put onto reglan, then erythromycin. And while that has resolved, I am way too restricted in how much and what I can eat even now, almost six weeks out. I had an endoscopy and was told I had esophogitis. Why? I never had problems pre-op. And am scheduled for a manometry as I was also told that my peristalisis is not working normally. The upper GI showed the band was correctly positioned but I have just not been able to eat anything but very soft or very crunchy foods. And it feels like somethings stick in my throat. I am concerned that I am having damage done to my esophogus, but my surgeon does not seem to be in a hurry to do something. Any thoughts? :)
