Em,
If you were my patient I would still offer you a gastric bypass, but probably not a Lap Band as band patients can sometimes have esophageal issues down the road.

how often should i have an endoscopy done to check on this condition? is there any cure for it? what are my chances it will go into cancer. the doctor i saw for it said they were going to do another one into 2 years. it just sounds thats to long to do another one and keep an eye on it as they say.
