Hi,
Please be very careful...take it from someone who had a slip due to being too tight, pbing, swelling of the esophogus...and I eventually had to have band removed. I have since had it replaced and now know I should have done something sooner to prevent all of it!
I was, honestly, confused as what to do. I had lost almost all of my excess weight and was happy. I did not want it to go away, yet the more I pb'd, the worse it got. I could barely keep down H2O.
Had I fixed it earlier, It could have been repaired instead of removed!
I am now starting all over again, literally!:
Good luck, and trust your instincts and get your doctor to do another flouroscope and WATCH the barium go down. You may just be swollen from the pbing.
MKA
