Wish me luck!
My upper GI series is tomorrow, and I'm hoping it shows a slip. That sounds bad, I know, but I THINK I've got one, I just want confirmation. I had a really bad PB/slime event a few weeks ago and have had acid reflux and mild abdominal pain since then. And to be honest, getting this revision approved will be a lot easier if I can prove my band is screwed up.

Hope you get the results need for your revision. GERD isn't fun. I had my rny instead of sleeve because of severe GERD. The head of my bed was elevated >45 degrees. I've been on Prilosec first, then Nexium since 1998. After losing 50% of my excess weight, the head of bed is now lowered to 15-20 degrees and I still need Nexium. (Tried to wean off twice very slowly, but was unsuccessful)
