I had Lap band surgery about 4 yrs ago. I am a slow looser. In the summer I got my last fill and right after it I got real sick with Pneumonia. It might have been caused by reflux. Then I found out I needed rotator cuff surgery and my family Dr advised me to weight til after that surgery to get a fill. I recovered from that surgery and I couldn't get an appointment with the Dr til Jan. On Jan 1st I fell and broke my arm so I had to weight another 6 weeks for a fill since I couldn't drive. I had my fill on a Thurs followed th directions they gave for how to eat but I realised that something wasn't right. I had no restriction. I went back in a few weeks amd they wanted me to do a swalloe test. I had trouble getting an appointment at a time that was suitable. I decided I would wait til summer. But then I realises that I was putting on too much weight. and could eat anything. I had the test today and the person that did the test said my esophigus was as large as my stomach and I was refluxing. He said my band was too tight since there was some back up. Has anyone else ever been told sbout this. What can they do? I had some restriction before the last fill but none now. Ill get the official diagnosis in a few days when the Dr sees my teat results. Help!!!
