Hello - I am new to this site. I do have a concern and I really need some advice.

I was banded January 2007. About 3 weeks ago - I ate something that got stuck and I was unable to eat for about 2 or 3 days. This finally passed - however, I now have terrible reflux and I also have times when I cannot eat but a few bites and a lot of times what I am able to eat will come back up. I have a doctors visit scheduled for next week. I am really worried. Please help!

Hate you are experiencing this. Sounds like the item that got stuck then finally went through the band caused irritation.

You did right by not trying to eat for the first 2-3 days after to allow the irritation to die down.

The symptoms you are experiencing now could be the result of that item...the damage it did. But not to worry...your doc will know just what to do.

Acid reflux is so common these days for those WITHOUT the band...so for someone with the band to get it....nothing out of the ordinary.

Hang in and hang on til next week's appt.

Good luck.

I know you posted this a long time ago but I am experiencing the same problems now. I was wondering what your outcome was?
