Esophageal Dilation Panic Attack



Recommended Posts

I have been having problems with my fills for a few months now. It started when I went in for my 3rd fill and it felt like all my restriction had gone away. I went in a week later to have some more Fluid put in and I haven't been the same since; waking up in the middle of the night choking on saliva and whatnot. I went to the ER and had my band totally drained. A month later I went in and they filled me with 7 cc's. (There was a lot more to this but I'm paraphrasing.)

I just went in for my 1st fill since the 7 cc's and I'm up 2 lbs. and have esophageal dilation. It was horrible! Seeing them put 2 cc's in me, having the liquid not flow through the band and feeling totally fine, like I didn't just drink anything!! Well needless to say I flipped out!! I don't understand!! How badly did I just damage my body!??! And I tried asking my doctor what this really meant and all he did was give me the fat girl talk about watching what I eat and needing to exercise.

FORGET THE WEIGHTLOSS!! I want to know what I just did to my body!?! Is this reversable? Are there complications from it? Did I just do serious damage?

Needless to say I hopped off the exam table and ran out crying. So I'm asking some of you. I don't care if I am fat for the rest of my life!! How much damage did I just do to myself? How do I fix this?? It was horrifying to see my esophagus just flapping around and no fluid flowing to my stomach! Help... Someone tell me the truth...

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
