Endoscopy (biopsy)

Hi everyone, next month is my last month of my required six months wait by my insurance. My Doctor will do an endoscopy next month. Last year he found a nodule and did a biopsy, thank God no cancer but he wants to make sure it hasn't gotten bigger. It is important for me to get the nodule removed as it can put me at risk for cancer. If the nodule cannot be removed with the sleeve, I will get the Lap Band for sure. Happy Weight Loss !!!!

The band is the LAST thing you want if you have any esophageal issue. The band puts so much pressure on the esophagus that it makes any issue there worse. I can't believe your doc would even consider a band. Very dangerous! I'm having to see a gastro because of all the damage done to mine, problems swallowing and pain all the time that I wouldn't wish on anyone. I know you want the band but I wish you could spend just one day in my body so you could know what I feel. I wish you good luck!
