  1. Hello everyone, I was banded oct 29th 2008 and have had 3 adjustments over the past 9 months. I recently went to follow up with my doc about a month and a half ago and he saw it was a little tight but I was under major stress at the time and he mentioned that this may be the factor. 3 weeks later I was having acid reflux, heartburn, and was having difficulty keeping food down. I was also having trouble keeping water down at times.my doc was out of town but was adivsed to see his partner today A.S.A.P. I did just that. The doc took one look n said I didn't look well at all and looked very dehyrated. (Soooo true) the first swallow of barium did no pass through the band so he ended up draining it all and advised me to drink plenty of gatorade. I asked what could be the cause of this since I was fine when I saw my doc last adjustment. He said water retention could be a problem. I was curious so I called n had a chat with someone at my docs office n was told this was caused by pouch enlargement?? What??????? I was barely eating and watching everything that entered my mouth. How could this be possible? Could it just be that it was a little tight at my last adjustment and my water retention levels changed since then?? Do the sypmtoms of acid reflux, heartburn, regurgitation, not being able to keep water down always mean pouch enlargement or could this be caused by the bad being too tight??? Anyone please help!
