@@nowornever14, I had the same issue, I removed the band and I did revision after 8 months, unfortunately I did not know and dr as well that I have pseudo achalasia , now 7 weeks out of the revision to sleeve and still food is getting stuck . Dr mentioned that I need to wait additional 5 weeks and do another test to see the results. Can you update me on your case? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi all, I am new here although I've been following the threads and now I need your help. 8 years back I had a bad which was removed in July 15 due to enlargement of esophagus. Waited till march 16 to have a sleeve. After sleeve dr mentioned that I have motility issue in my esophagus. Now I'm 3rd week after op and deadly worried as I had a pain in my stomach (on and off) yesterday .good to mention that yesterday was my first day in mashed . Any advise to ease my mind as I feel my stomach is contracted due to stress I'm putting myself in . Also please would you let me know signs of leak and when it shows when leak happens. Finally what is the period where leak happens and when you consider yourself safe or over it . Thank you guys for your support Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm sorry for this heartburn:(, and wish I won't face it . How's your food intake , in which stage of food you are now. I'm 5 week and still I have a bit of pain . By when ur esophagus issue resolved and when u started solid food . Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

@@NoMoBand thank you for your points . I was wondering if you had the same issue due to hernia earlier.also have u had any issue with reflux pre operations? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

@@NoMoBand, how is it going with you? Since we are having the case, I did X-ray to check , all is ok, except the esophagus which is still dilated ,lower part of it , and the doctor in his report mentioned a large hernia . Have you faced such thing? I'm still having a delay of food passage from esophagus to stomach and I feel pain a bit while the food pass. What about u? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hello all, I've been sleeved on the 15th of March , I am a bit worried about leak as I used to have band and moved to sleeve into two separate operations. Today I'm 4 weeks post-op . When leak risk will resume or disappear? Looking forward to hear from you Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

&jnt1 thank you I did the surgery in Lebanon and currently in dubai , I contacted my dr and till now all is going well . Sometimes I feel I am eating more than supposed to and sometimes less . Does anyone has an issue with tomato Soup as I find it heavy . Also, what I found out from other threads that people with enlarged esophagus tend to eat more and lose weight slower and less than others? Is it correct?

@@JamieLogical thank you so much . Just what worries is coming from the history of band with esophagus enlargement and I don't know if it is spasm which will resume by its own or a stricture which I don't know . Thank you Jamie Moe Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

@@NoMoBand thank you so much and this exactly what I am looking for . Have you revised your band to sleeve ? How was your journey . My esophagus is enlarged and currently I feel good are getting stuck . Thanks for your support Moe Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Actually my story is a bit different . I removed the band 6 months back and now sleeved . I lost 10 kg since operation . I am always afraid from leak and complications . I have spasm and enlarged esophagus since band . Today I started pure but it is getting stuck . What about u? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hello, I did it on the 15th . Here for you Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Well done , keep it up Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I agree , but I did the operation in one country and I live and work in other one which will not allow me to meet him regularly . Thus I believe this forum to share info and help each other unless you believe not. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Jamie, I am just referring to those who post scary things about leak 6 months and other stuff which make me even more paranoid . I always think that I will die and leave my 3 month boy alone . It is just killing feeling and regretting although I wanted to lose weight as I had in band . Also, what about this abscess and how could I know ?thank you again Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thank you for putting my mind at ease , also I have this spasm which i feel that it is blocking my drink, I never vomited but i feel its blocked . I have this esophagus enlargement from band. Anyone had the same issue and how you dealt with it . Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
