it's wasn't my surgeon that i went to, it was my family doc. I thought it was sinus/allergy stuff that was causing the drainage, but he said it was acid reflex instead, he told me i could try the treatment for that, but my band may to too tight. What i wanted to find out is if a tight band causes the acid reflex and if taking some out of my band will help. i think i will call my surgeon first before going to the specialist.
