Just told I probably should have my band removed

I have had no restriction for a while now. Doctor just told me that happens sometimes. I am as tight as the band will go.  I have a dilated eshophguas.  Possible suggestion is to remove the band and maybe go with the Gastric Sleeve.  I am not sure what to do. I thought my band was forever!!!  I could just cry.

Should I try and find another doctor for a second opinion. Any one else having issues like this? 

It wouldn't hurt to get a second opinion. BUT it also depends on who you just came back from. If you came back for say Dr. Mcguire who has been doing this for over 30 years there would be no need for a second but if you went to someone who has only been doing WLS for a few years then yep need a second.  Just make sure you do your research on all the different WLS's  before you chose another WLS and make sure you research your doc as well.
Good Luck,
Robin

You mention that you have a dialated esphogas ...did your dr unfill your band to give your pouch a rest and then start the restriction process over?  i had the same thing in Feb...6wks rest and my pouch is good as new
