Does anyone know what the treatment is for gastritis if you are banded? I have an HMO and am waiting for the authorization for an upper GI series to be done.

It will probably be the same as for an unbanded person other than they may require an unfill until the inflammation goes down.

I would think Protonix is strong enough to heal most gastritis and esophagitis, it's usually the treatment that surgeons/Gastro docs give patients with severe inflamation and GERD. It also heals erosion in the esophagus.

Also removing some saline may also help heal the gastritis by reducing pressure on the stomach.

There are other medications, but Protonix usually helps lap banders best at least me when I had gastritis with my old band.

Good luck
