Thank you for your response... The symtoms are that my Esophagus is dilated.. like stretched out.

Hello Everyone ~ I am a 45 year old woman who had her lap band put in about 6 years ago. I've lost a total of 58 pounds. Oh by the way, my band has a capacity of 9.75 cc's. Before Monday, May 18, I had 3cc in my lap band. On Monday my regular's doctor colleague gave me flurry/under the xray thingy and told me he needed to remove the liquid in my band because my esophasgus was dilated. I was so upset that I couldn't even speak. I called my regular doctor and he is calling me next week after he review my file. Long story made longer...After going home and thinking about it. My doctor's colleague never told me what I should eat or when I can get filled again. Has anyone gone through an issue of a dilated esophagus? Any insight would help - Greatly appreciated, ~zagagirl~

Never had a problem with it.
