Yes That! Doc says I have Achalasia and must get a unfilled for 3 months. It is frightening but necessary. I am preparing my heart and mind to work hard to stay on track and get my esophogus and pouch in good working order. I pray for success with just the unfill.
If anyone has experienced this please let me know how thing went with you.
Thanx,
Z

Hi Dawn, I had to get an upper GI and they found a lot of swelling so the cheapest thing to do is empty my band and see if the swelling would go down.  I had wanted to get a fill and had saved up the money but instead I paid the money but got unfilled.  I was upset but they showed me the pictures and I knew it was best.  Didn't stop me from crying.  After two months  I must get another upper GI then see where we go from there.  I may have to get an EDG which is more expensive, It's around $4,000 at the hospital where I had lapband surgery.  Hopefully I won't need it.  I have to take omeprezole daily for gas, which I was full of.  Otherwise things are ok.  I don't have insurance so that's the bummer.    I've been working out regularly with weights, treadmill, stationary bike and exercise DVD's along with trying to eat like I have a band.   It's hard.
Just got back from vacationing so I'll be back on the board journaling daily. 

Glad to hear from you. Hope you and family are doing well.  Take care and keep it touch.
