Hi everyone. About a month ago I posted about my burning pains in my right side and up my back. Gall Bladder was out so it wasn't that. I had a CXR, ultrasound and CAT scan with and without contrast.

Verdict from the cast scan, small to moderate hiatal hernia. Doc wants to review the films herself and I have been instructed for the meantime to NOT over eat. My pain has calmed down, but not I am paranoid about eating anything.

First consult 306, pre-op visit 278, surgery date 272, current 198

Sorry you're paranoid about eating. You need to eat. Just try very small frequent meals. It's good to have answers.

You had the same burning sensation I had, if you have the AP band, it can be easily unbuckled and fixed, without removing your band. I had to get a new band because the older bands don't unbuckle easily without destroying the lap band system.

I got my hiatal hernia fixed and new band and I feel awesome, no more burning or having to take any PPis or acid reducers, life has never been better.

Good luck.

Original Lap Band * 9/30/2005 * 4cc 10cm band*, lost 130 pounds. 7 Great years!

Revision surgery to AP small lap band *11/13/2012*, due to large hiatal hernia. I am hopeful about continuing my band journey uneventful and successful. I loved what my old band did for me and I am looking forward for my new band to Keep my weight down
