Esophageal Pain

[paula2468 7]

I had similar problems for months, X-rays, barium swallow... Still nothing. I ended up having to have my band emptied and after a CT and Hida scan they realized it was my gallbladder. Bad thing is now I'm feeling very defeated by my band. Up 25 lbs since last year, finally keeping food down but feeling bad about the weight gain. Any tips to get back in the game?

Thanks... I should read up on gallbladder issues. But to answer ur question I find that tracking my calories even if I go grossly over helps so much. My fitness pal is a godsend

I guess gallbladder problems are very common. I knew something big was wrong when I just couldn't get enough sleep.< /p>

The other symptoms were all something too but I never was a sleeper!

As it sounds like your gall bladder call your Dr for Referral to get a ultrasound or even better a hida scan.

How was your appointment...

I have my scope scheduled for Wednesday.. But now living on long island I'm dealing with the aftermath of sandy.. No gas and the clinic is an hour away. I'm hoping I can still make the appointment... But there's this stupid gas, ice shortage and many of us are still w/o power (we're one of the few lucky ones) so I'll update soon...

Glad everything was OK with your band, and I hope y'all are recovering from Sandy. I live in Louisiana, so we're passingly familiar with hurricanes, and my heart just broke seeing all the devastation Sandy caused.
