thanks, I was going to gastroenterologist who suggested that i have my esophagus stretched, but the bariatric surgeon says no, my band is too tight. so he took all fluid out of band and I had to start all over w/fills. I had the position of the band checked out,and it was good; but no further testing to see if maybe a hernia has developed. thanks for that info.they did ask me if i had ever thought about converting to the bypass.

I just read your blog about reflux! TY very helpful info there. I was banded 05/2007 have terrible issues w/reflux ever since. I been filled and unfilled so many times. only lost 46 lbs to date. I went to gastroenterologist who put me on omeprazole more than a year ago. any info on how long you should take that? a lot of times I wake up because I will have reflux and will need to purge. also have a lot of wierd gassy noises?? whats the deal w/that?? discouraged about my wight loss!
