banding of varices

Tags: varices, liver, Hepatitis, esophagus, procedure

I recently had some varices banded in my esophagus. I still feel some discomfort and pressure, especially if I bend over. Has anyone had this procedure done that could tell me what the common after effects are? Thanks.

Had several done a couple months ago. The pain and irritation lasted 11 days for me, especially when swallowing, but got less and less daily. It depends on how many rubber bands he put on each. You will return to normal.

I would keep an eye on the pain level. If after 10 days or so it doesn't get better, see your doctor...
