Did my band slip?

I had my fourth fill last Thursday, April 24. I did liquids Thursday & Friday. Saturday I tried eating soft solids, got sick. Got sick several times on Sunday. Now, I feel like I have constant heartburn, and can't hardly eat or drink anything without getting sick. It was a little like this after my third fill, but it got better after a week or so. This time is worse. I haven't called my doctor yet. I was hoping that it would get better. Anybody else experience this?

this sounds like a classic overfill. Do not wait to call the doctor as this can make you band slip...call let the surgeon make the call!

I agree with Neely. It happened to me...overfilled, stubbornly wanted to keep it, horrible PB-ing episode (ONE) made my pouch stretch and band slip slightly. I am now completely unfilled to see if it will heal itself. Call your doc and get checked out with flouro.

I ended up in the ER and had severe dehydration, so please don't wait for an unfill. The more you get sick the more swollen you will become, the the doc will more than likely have to unfill you. Take it from me, it is not fun when they have to do that, it has taken me 5 months now to get back to some restriction.

Best wishes!
