Maeganash got a reaction from judych in Slipped BandI actually just had my band removed on Thursday due to a major slippage.
From what I have experienced, slippage actually takes quite a long time. It will slip a little at first and you may have vomiting, trouble eating certain foods, acid reflux, etc. If it isn't taken care of, it can continue to slip more and more to the point of no return. If it is only slipped slightly, your doctor can take the Fluid out and it may return to it's original position.
Mine however, slipped to the point of no return and I decided to have it removed. My symptoms were I wasn't able to eat ANY solid food without horrible, excruciating stomach pains. Just check with your doctor if there are any doubts! Better safe than sorry.
