have they done a fill under flouroscopy they need to look at the stomach and see whats going on when you swallow -
sometimes they just don't seat well the best place is just below the breast bone mine had to be placed to the mid left of my belly button and it flipped after 7 months had revision on june 19, sore but not a big deal anxious to get a fill and resume weight loss

Sliding Hiatal hernia
carla08 replied to susietobig's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
hi i had a paraesophgeal hernia thats why i have the band and not the gb. my surgery was very complicated my entire stomach and omentum were up in my chest cavity and my stomach ws twisted in half and had grown to my heart and ribs he ws able to fix it all laproscopically and i did have to take more time off from work but the recovery was not so bad and this was my first surgery ever! i came home on day three and was able to care for myself just rested a lot good luck -
Hi my doctor said this occurs in the beginning because when they do this surgery they are messing around near the diaphram the nerves there are related to the nerves in your back so until you are completely healed you may have a flare up now and then this is also a sign of overeating but that doesn't sound like what your feeling good luck

surgery nov 3 08 down 42 lbs -
I do not have aetna but have they checked an A1C to see if perhaps you would be considered a type II diabetic also a comorbidity, do you have bakc or knee pain due to being overweight also can get you approved your Bmi is very close can they reweigh you and submit the new weight generally best to weigh in the afternoon for higher weight good luck
