I go for my EGD ( Upper Gi) scope this morning. When I talked to my surgeons office on friday they said if they didnt find anything on the scope the band could be the cause of this horrible heartburn and stomach aches. Then went on to add they might have to remove it if that is the case. I'm not done losing weight. Wonder if they will take the band out and do the Roux-en-Y surgery. I am to far ahead of myself. I need to stay into today and quit worrying about the future. Well got to go, I will check in later.

Jackie, I know this can be scary. However, you just have to breath and take this one step at a time. See what they find out at the tests and then go from there. If you do end up having to have your band removed, then definitely look into alternatives, such as RNY or, my preference, the sleeve.

Keep us posted and let us know what you find out. Hang in there, girl, we are here for you.

Good news, the EGD was normal except for a polyp in my stomach. The esophagus was normal. I am so relieved to find out the pouch isn't distended. I was so scared about that. Whew!
