    This Sucks.

    Possibly, I've sent him an email. I saw a CATscan of my chest today (unrelated) and my esophagus looks like a football.

    This Sucks.

    I originally was banded in 1999 and lost about 140 pounds, I've gained back about 30 so not too bad. I did have a slip and re-banding in 2003 or so and since that re-banding I have had no fill at all. See I have trouble keeping good food down.You would think I would have lost a ton of weight but it just slowly creeps up. I have to eat super slow and I don't get to eat a lot of volume. I know that's the point but I have no fill in my band. My guess is I have another slip. Even though I have insurance that will cover most of the stuff, I still can't really seem to find a doctor that will see me because my band was put in in Mexico. Truthfully at this point I just want the damned thing out. I'm totally stuck with it though. I'm sick of dealing with the vomiting, the reflux, now I"m getting chest pains as of tonight. Pain after eating. All with ZERO fill. I know, I've checked. It's dry as a bone in there and has been for over 4 years. I' ve been dealing with this daily since then. I wonder if I complain loudly about my gallstones (which I have but don't cause me much discomfort) I could convince them to take the band out at the same time... I feel like a ticking time bomb. I wonder what kind of damage this is doing to my esophagus.
