Problems with esophagus
Does anyone have a problem with their esophagus being zig zagged shaped since they had the Realize band put on? Mine is zig zagged shape and after taking medicine for 5 months and having 3 barium swallows there's no change. They have removed almost all the fill in the band. Every time I try to eat something solid my stomach burns and I have to eat something cold to ease the burning sensation. I do not want the band removed!!!
I've gained 20 lbs. back of the 68 I lost. I was doing fine until they told me to eat regular food. I'm back on my soft foods and protein drinks and leaving off the Heavenly Hash Frozen Yogurt that I was eating daily because it was cold. I hope to start losing once again. I've started going to Curves and hopefully that will help me.
This may not be a band problem since I also have a zig zagged colon. I've known I have a zig zagged colon for 10 years or more. I found out when I had my first colonoscopy. I didn't think to tell Dr. Schmitt because I thought it was caused from scar tissue from a hysterectomy I had years ago.

I never heard of this, but that doesn't mean it's not uncommon.
Know we're here for you. I will be praying.
