stretched esophogus

[patticNJ 1]

Hi,

I went for a fill on Wednesday, and during the fill (under flouro) the Dr said that my esophogus was stretched. He still gave me a small 0.5 cc fill, and told me to take it easy for a few days. Today is friday, and I have moved on to mushy foods. The problem is that I can eat like 3 or 4 bites and I am feeling like I'm going to hurl. Yesterday it was on yogurt, today mashed potatoes.

Has anyone eber had or heard of a stretched esophogus? Oh and when I got a fill in May, it was fine.

thanks,

Patti

yes and I have even seen a picture of a person that had one. They say it's from drinking and eating large amounts of food at one time reason for them telling you to take small bites i guess. It's not a good thing I guess...I guess if you imagine it the good giong down right but with the band our food stay atop of the band in our esophogus so therefore stretching it as if it would out stomachs I guess.

I stuck to very small meals of semi soft foods over the weekend, and it seems ok. but i just ate 3 mouthfuls of refried Beans, and it was so stuck it hurt! I guess i will be getting an unfill afterall!!!
