Hi, i'm new to this site. I have been having severe hearburn for a couple of months. At first I didn't think much of it but lately it is pretty bad. I can also eat a little more than I normal. I went to the doctor yesterday and he wants to do an upper GI. So now I'm freaked out. Could something be wrong with my band? I don't know what I would do. I got the band Nov of 07 and love it. It has truly saved my life but now I am supper worried. Should I be?

Relax! The upper GI is just because that's the only way to see if anything is going on. It could (and likely is) nothing, but who wants a doctor to tell them that without being sure?! Good luck and let us know how it goes.
