Your father has cirrhosis. You have not mentioned cause of cirrhosis. Thcause of cirrhosis should be investigated ( if not done already). Endoscopy and banding ( BAND ligation ) is the correct initial treatment for Bleeding from esophageal varices( swollen veins in the food pipe) in cirrhosis. You should consult your gastroenterologist and discuss other treatment options like liver transplant.
