Irritated Stoma, Acid Reflux, can't lay down, HELP ME!
lucy65p replied to want2beme's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I was having the same problem. And I went on for a month like that. I finally went to my doctor last week and they did an upeer GI and my band was too tight. They took out half of what they put in last month and I had instant relief. I had to do liquids then to pureed, then soft because everything was all swollen . You should call your doctor. Good luck!!! -
Almost one year after surgery
lucy65p replied to Nancy88's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I too had my band done Oct. 2007 and I have been having reflux so bad!! I am on prevacid already and I have to go tomorrow for an upper gi and most likely get an unfill. But I just got a tiny fill last month because I was gaining. Since the fill last month I started losing again. This is so frustrating!!!! I am ready to ask for this band to removed. -
I went to Dr.Posner and Dr. Forbes at Buffalo General. Dr. Forbes did my lap band. She is awesome!!! They have taken such great care of me there.

I went for a fill yesterday and did not get one because of pain near my port. The doctor sent me for a ct scan. They said it was not right to have so much pain. I am waiting for the test results this morning. Do you have any pain? -
