How would one know if they have ripped their stitches? I keep reading about slipped bands and that seems hard to identify too. Has anyone here had either of the two happen?

Thank you so much for your responses! I feel so much better knowing that I am not the only one to feel this way and to have eaten something solid. I ate a meatball (mushed it and chewed the heck out of it) and I did ok with it - no pain. I was just so worried I was abnormal for being hungry and wanting to eat solid food.

Hi Allen - I just got my band the 27th of April and I too have been hungry all day and did eat a little solid food today. I know they said I shouldn't be hungry but I am. I have no idea what to do about it. Have you found anything that helped?
