slipped band

Hi Phyllis.  Yes, I have been blessed with a good insurance company.  They have paid for all three surgeries (initial lap-band, slip surgery and my revision to the sleeve). 

Omg, I have been having a lot of problems lately feeling stuck easily and more restriction. I don't know that I'm having problems with reflux but always feel like something is stuck in my esophagus. What kind of test did the Dr do?

You might be feeling what I have, which is food stuck in the esophagus due to poor motility or failure of the lower esophageal sphincter to relax in response to swallowing.

there anything I can do? What is the prognosis. I plan to call the surgeons office to hopefully get in for answers or help.

My started to get tighter,  They would take fill out and I would be OK for a while.  Than it would get tighter agian.  They would take more out and I'd be OK for a while again.  This went on until they finally took it out.  The insurance paid for the band, the removal but, I had to fight to prove medical nessecity to get the sleeve paid for. 

I now am sleeved and loving it.  I had some uncertainty the second month out but, it is now doing what I thought the band would be like.

I went ahead and had the surgery this past friday. I have some pain but not like the first time around. thats a good thing. I had the barrum swallow. He then showed me what a correct band location looks like and what mine looked like. He said they should be at a 45 degree angle toward your left should. Mine had slipped where it was a 45 degree angle to my left hip. The main thing I have noticed is I can now sleep again like normal. It had gotten to the point I had to sleep almost sitting straight up in bed or the recliner. And even that wasn't a sure thing that I wouldnt get the acid reflux or chocking in the middle of the night. I got to where I quit eating or drinking anything after 6 pm in hopes that I would get to sleep. More times then not that didnt even work.

So I can only hope that its fixed for good now. And will continue to work as good as it had been
