Afraid to get a fill



Recommended Posts

About a month ago my dr emptied my band (lots of issues... No known cause) well I think I need some juice put back in my band (haven't lost a pound since then). But, I am afraid to! Even though EGD showed nothing wrong I still have a burning in my chest/shoulder/upper back when I eat or drink. Not always.. But more often than not. And heartburn, holy cow call me dragon lady! I can light a fire a block away somedays. Other days I am perfectly fine. Agh. If I had a crystal ball life would be soooooo much easier!

Aw that is too bad. Have not seen any other complaints like that recently, so not sure if you will get much advice. Hope everything will be ok!

Have they done a barium swallow or fill under fluoroscopy to see if your band is where it should be?

I haven't had an office fill. Just what was done when placed. There was no problem hitting the port or anything traumatic like that.

He does barium swallows in the office and both times it has been fine. Calling tomorrow to see if they think I should come in or not.

I guess if I only have a little added it wont be any worse than before they emptied it.
