Need Lap Band Buddy / Mentor I need an answer to narrowing of my esophagus

[wrestlersmom 0]

O.K. I have serched this whole site and not found anyone who has my problem.. I do NOT have a dialated esophagus I have a narrowing of teh esphoagus.. I need to have my esophagus Dilated.. One gastoenteroligist said NO way. It will blow out your band .. Another Gi Dr said it can be done.. I am taking my upper GI reports, and my endoscopy reports with me on March 30th to this new Dr to find out what can be done and how dangerous it is to have your esophagus dilated... Has anyone ever heard of someone having their esophagus dilated??? It is done all the time on people without the band.... Very common from what they tell me... I am frustrated I cant get a right answer from anyone... I cant swallow food right and I am NOT too tight from a fill.. I am 9 months out with having my band and I had this problem before I got my 2 fills.. I only have 3 cc's...

Thanks for reading and hopefully somone can help me....

I have never seen anyone post the problem before. What did the Doctor say to you on the 30th. The thread you are putting this in is very new "mentors". Maybe you should post it on a general lapband talk. Some of them may have had a simular issue.

I have the same problem with my esphagus and I've sent you a private message.

Hope to hear from you.
