for those who had a band slip

good to know! The Radiologist said it looked normal no hernias but my surgeon is going to look at the actual band this morning then ill get a call. The nurse also said she was going to call the insurance and pressure them a bit about getting my band out. i've been waiting over a month for there ok.

The way it was explained to me...The radiologist is looking to see anything grossly wrong with the band, ie: erosion, complete malfunction, problems with the tissue around the band.  They are not usually trained to look for the angle to be off, or proper placement.  Your gastro doc can help with that.  

And yes, I dealt with what you are dealing with.  Severe GERD and reflux, when I laid down at night if I was not elevated I would wake up to stomach acid coming up into my throat and mouth.  My radiologist said everything looked fine.  My gastro looked at it and said everything was terrible.  Just sit tight and be patient.  Stress does not help the situation.  Try to stay hydrated and continue drinking water to flush your stomach and keep the acid away from the areas that are stressed.

Great, keep us posted!

Dr said it looks good and my symptoms are almost entirely gone.. i know it sounds weird but i think it was slipped and then fixed its self on Saturday. it was hurting and i couldn't eat then while i was walking i felt this really weird feeling like my stomach slid down and i actually heard a weird gurgling whoosh sound at the same time. it stopped me in my tracks and after that i was able to eat but still had killer heartburn and now its only mild. i read a lot of slips fix themselves when the fluid is removed from the band... guess ill never know for sure.... but i feel better and that's what matters! thank you all for the support!
