So I called my surgerons office today told the nurse my problems and she said I might have a narrowing and It might need to be stretched. What is a narrowing? What causes it? How do they stretch it? I thought I have reflux but I told her everything that was wrong and that's what she said soo hopefully this is what's causing my problems...

Does your surgeons office do bypass as well? I know there is an issue with bypasser's wherein they get 'strictures' and need to be stretched out, however I have never heard of anything like this with bands.

Let us know what you find out...

Erin,

So sorry to hear that you are having a tough time. Like Patricia, I've only really heard of this with by-pass.

I believe the stretching is done similar to a endoscopy.

I hope they can help you to find some relief. Keep us posted.

I will keep you guys posted, thanks (:
