Hi there,

How familiar are you with this doctor? If he is not reputable (and I'm not venturing an opinion at all since I don't know him) he may have inserted the band around your esophagus. It is faster and technically easier to do, but of course is totally wrong. Last year a surgeon was exposed in Belgium for doing this. He could make more money by doing more cases. Anyway, a simple Xray will reveal the position of the band, or so I'm told. I wish you the best.
