FYI I HAVE HAD MY BAND FOR OVER A YEAR HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH ENERGY AND FATIGUE WENT IN FOR A FULL CHECKUP THEY HAVE DISCOVERED I HAVE ESOPHAGEAL CANCER. APPARENTLY WITH THE LAP BAND YOUR ESOPHAGUS BECOMES YOUR NEW STOMACH AND IT DOES NOT HAVE THE ACIDS, FLUIDS YOUR STOMACH HAS TO HAVE FOOD SITTING AGAINST IT WALLS. THAT DID ME IN PEOPLE SHOULD REALLY THINK ABOUT LAP BAND SURGERY, THEY NEVER TELL YOU ABOUT THIS POSSIBLE COMPLICATION. THE CANCER WAS BLEEDING CAUSING ALL MY SYMPTOMS
