Oh okay thanks for info, hope all goes well for u, I go Monday for a upper gi and an edg hoping all is okay gotta get rid of this acid reflux its terrible good luck to you.

Annette did u have to have your slipped band fix or did it fix on its on, I have such band acid reflux...im so worried and really dont want to have to go through surgery again.

Thank you, I have been in touch with my surgeon, and hes scheduled an Egd and an upper gi...I was just wondering if because im still able to hold food down if I can still have slip or an eroded band...just wanted to get opinions anyone else had an erosion or slipped band but was still able to keep food down...my main problem is acid refluc feeling nauseated, my back and chest hurts after i eat anyones input is helpful..I guess im just nervous and hoping mine hasnt slipped or eroded..

My doc thinks my band my have slipped or eroded because every time I eat or drink I get really nauseaed my back hurts and my chest feels tight, even though im still able to keep food down,I just had fluid taken out my band a couple of days ago and still feel the same way, went to th Er and the CT scan shows scar tissue, but they said it was in my pelvic area im just confused and hope band hasnt slipped or eroded, anyone else have this happen???

Yeh I would call the doctor, that doesnt look good.

Hi i have been feeling about the same way, I was banded June 2012 no problems until lately i have really been nauseated after I drink r eat fill tightness in my chest and lately my back hurts really bad after I eat also..I am able to eat and keep food down just feel really sick after eating, my doc did take 1cc out of mine band a couple of days ago still ive been feeling the same way, even went to the ER i was feeling so bad, so now my doc wants to do a upper GI, im praying my band hasnt slipped eroded, anyone else feel this way and it was because of a slip or erosion?

Hey I have been feeling the same like tightness in my chest and i have been really sick everytime i eat I feel sick i can keep the food down but get really sick afterwards, I went today and got an unfill...im hoping I dont have an erosion or a slip..did u have any others problems before u found out your band eroded? Oh and I have heard people getting rebanded after an erosion..good luck I pray mine hasnt..
