slipped bands



Recommended Posts

Flower, the symptoms of a slip are--usually--suddenly increased restriction and an inability to swallow. If you're experiencing really increased restriction with acid reflux, regurgitation, stuff getting stuck that you don't think should, it could be a symptom of a slip. Or it could be irritation caused by a PB that was never permitted to heal, and is just getting worse over time. I've been told on two occasions that I might have a slip and neither time was that the case.

So don't leap to any conclusions. If you're having symptoms try to baby yourself, baby your esophagus by sticking to liquids and mushies for several days. If that doesn't help or the situation gets worse, then definitely see your doctor for a fluoroscope exam.

What exactly are you experiencing?
