Help

Something has happened with my band - I did great with my pregnancy and gained about 20 lbs - still had restriction after he was born - all of of sudden - nothing - no restriction - I can totally eat like I did pre-band - as soon as I stopped breastfeeding in November - the wait just came on. My doctor thinks I have either an erosion or my tube disconnected!

Anyone with similar experience?

I would suggest you go in to see your doctor to diagnose the problem. Erosion is serious and if there is a problem it needs to be addressed quickly. If you have a leaky band, it can be easily diagnosed by your doctor as well. They can check volumes and changes in volumes.

Good luck. I hope everything is fine with your band and you just need a fill.

I had a baby in September 2008 and am having a similar experience. I'm not restricted at all and can eat large quantities and am fine all day. At night I get severe heartburn. I had a barium swallow and the Dr. said I have concentric dilatation. I was put on a liquid diet for 2 weeks and the heartburn went away. Now that I'm back on solid foods nighttime heart burn is back. I'm worried I will have to get my band removed. Anyway, I'm getting another barium swallow and talking to my surgeon.

It has been so hard with to wake up 2-3 times a night with heartburn and another 2-3 time to feed my baby. I have severe sleep deprivation.
