Off to see surgeon

[tym4me 206]

Hi All, So I have been banded since 10/2011 and have had no issues except slow weighloss (35lbs to date). However for the past 3-4 weeks I have been having heartburn at night and in the morning, also this tickling feeling in my chest. I was ill with a virus and saw my PCP and we contributed these things to post nasal drip and such. Well it hasnt gone away. And its this constant burning feeling.

Just wondering could it be a slip or erosion? The nurse I just spoke to, said "oh you probably need an unfill" I think its more than that.

I am not a very bold person and kinda "just do as I am told" person., but do you think I should requeat a barium swallow or

X-ray? I have not clue and if I do how do I word it?

Whats your ideas?

Talk to your surgeon, tell him the symptoms, tell him you are very concerned. Then ask for the options.
