I was banded in December and had 2 fills. The 2nd fill was in April and I have been fine for awhile but in the past 2 weeks I've been having problems. I can eat very little food, sometimes no food. At times I can't drink, and I have brought up fluids twice. I'm really bad in the morning but also at night. I also get really bad pain in my esophagus and also in my stomach. When i drink i get these funny croaking noises in my throat. Sometime the pain is awhile after I eat or drink. I called and made an appt. with my Dr., they couldn't fit me in until next week, but I'm wondering if I should take it more serious. Anyone have any idea what it might be?

Hello, I was banded last November...I did really well until April when I started having similar problems. I have spent most of the time since then with no fill because every time i try to get back to the point of restriction, i start having the problems again and end up getting my fill taken back out. I cannot take it anymore and I am having revision to MGB on October 1st. The one thing that concerns me is that they would make you wait to be seen, if you are having complications, you should be seen right away--it could be causing more problems. I hope you are ok, but know that you are NOT alone! after I had so many problems I have found more people that have problems than actually are a success! Good luck to you!
