revision or not?
Oct 17, 2010
Hi,
I'm a 41 year female who had lap band surgery in June of 07. At first I had pretty good success with the band but then it stopped. I would work out 1.5 hours a day and still could never get to goal. I only lost about 65 pounds with the band. I've had quite a few problems with regurgitating food and pain. When I recently had a Barium swallow test done the radiologist remarked that I have hardly any restriction. Yet, if I have more I cant keep anything down. Very frustrating. To make it worse they told me that I have an esophagus condition that makes it want to spasm when I eat or drink anything. I'm wondering if that might be part of the problem. I've got an appointment with my surgeon at the end of this month to discuss my options. I chose the band because compared to others it is minimally invasive but I'm wondering if I made the right choice. Do I do a revision? I'm really confused right now and would appreicate any advice that you all might like to offer.
thanks for listening.
Dawn
