I'm sorry you've been so sick. I can't believe your doctor is not taking you seriously, whether she thinks it's a band problem or not. I would think you should have your band checked under fluoro, and if nothing amiss is found, an endoscopy to check things out. You also need to have a medical review. Your symptoms are seriously impacting your life and are cause for concern. Even if it's not your band, you need to get the bottom of what's causing your illness(es).

Not that we can diagnose you on a message board, but where are you having pain?

In addition to having an upper GI, you should have complete blood work. Make sure it includes a complete thyroid profile. Your symptoms could be any number of things and they should be taken seriously.
