I had a gastric band fitted 5 years ago, but I only lost weight before the operation. Afterward, I had to keep getting the band topped up, which didn't help and was expensive. I paid £6000 for the operation and feel disappointed and swindled. Why didn't the gastric band work for me?

I am having extreme difficulty swallowing, especially with liquids. I do not have nausea, a sore throat, pain in the chest, or heartburn. What could be causing this and what tests should I undergo?

What are some underlying conditions that cause cobblestone throat? I developed this about three years ago. Went to the doctor and he told me it was cobblestone throat. He had no solution for this, said it's just what some people have. I need a solution to this problem, my throat should be healthy. I have to wear a night guard at night, could that be causing my throat to dry out? I don't believe I have acid reflux, no symptoms of that at all. It's not like a sore throat, I don't seem to have any real problems with allergies. I am puzzled by this problem.

I went to a "Specialty Clinic" today for ED. They steered me away from taking anything like Viagra etc. and immediately had me try TriMix injections. The injection was successful, but I think I got ripped off on the price (30.00 per injection). So, my question is, where do we go from here? Does a standard urologist prescribe TriMix? And if so, where might we purchase it once we get the prescription?
