Esophageal Spasms anyone ?

[Annette_33815 8]

I go for a EDG Thursday next week. I was wondering if anyone has any experiences with spasms and the outcomes. Its scaring me to death and setting me up nicely for lovely anxiety attacks after. Im curious if people actually end up having their band taken out because of this.

Mine stem from a slip, but so far no urgent need for surgery according to my upper GI. I have the old 4cc band since 12/05/2006. I just started having the spasms since the slip & total unfill May 29th. Dr thinks acid reflux is at the root of my problem at the moment.
