Slow Pouch Drainage With No Restriction?



Recommended Posts

Wondering if anyone has any ideas... Had my band for three years next month. When I behave, it works really well for me. I have really slacked off the past year and gained back 1/3 of what I originally lost. I started having heartburn last winter that I could manage with tums or pepcid. In August, it was so severe I couldnt sleep at night. Doctor removed all restriction, put me on nexium, and did an EGD. EGD showed GERD in my esophogus but my pouch was fine with no erosion. The nexium has taken care of all my heartburn issues.

I went for a re-fill in front of fluro last week, thinking it would be routine, and my doctor wouldn't fill me because she said that my pouch as draining really really slowly without any restriction in my band. I asked about slippage or a possible new erosion and was told no, my band appeared in the right spot. She seemed to be at a loss as to what would cause this. She put me on liquids for two weeks for a re-check.

Anyone else have this happen or have any idea of what might be causing slow pouch drainage? Prior to this appointment, I felt fine. No vomiting, no heartburn..
