New to all of this and have question

Hi, I'm Denise from NJ. Just got my surgery date Jan 5 09. I am really excited. I have a question though. I had my upper endoscopy done on mon. My Gastro says I have reflux and he doesn't think the band is right for me. I have never met this guy up until then. Don't many of us banding patients have reflux?confused.gif

    Some do...if your endoscopy testing shows erosion you are at higher risk of band erosion, which is why your doc does not feel the band is for you most likely. You can have reflux without damage, which I think is fairly common, but if your tests showed issues from the reflux, the band may not be your best option.
