EGD

[GeorgiaGirlie 6]

I am scheduled to have an EGD on Tuesday. I had to take x-rays to see if there was a possible slip. The x-rays confirmed that instead of the standard positioning of the band being at 45 degrees, it's more at a 25 degree angle. They had to take all of the Fluid out of my band. I'm really worried about this. What could have caused this? Is this the same as a slip? I'm not sure if it's because my band has been too tight or what. I've had really bad acid reflux for the past month/month and a half. I'm not really too educated on these types of things so it's all new to me. I've been banded for a year a month.

If you've been too tight, it can definitely cause a slip. So can over eating and vomiting. The fact you had reflux leads me to think being too tight likely caused the slip.

It's really important that you educate yourself on the band so this doesn't happen again. Talk your surgeon and learn the basics as well as the do's and don'ts.

Good luck
