I've been banded 2 years and recently had a 20+ lb weight gain after being within 40lbs of goal. So here I am, 60 to loose again. :biggrin:

I went in for a long over-due fill 2 weeks ago. My fills have always gone smoothly, and I only once had to get an unfill as I wasn't able to get liquids down. I am not one of those quirky people who doesn't feel the affect of the fill till a week later, etc.

Sunday night I was stupid and ate 2 fish tacos with really spicy salsa. Took me over an hour, but I got them down. Ever since I've been having coughing fits at night, having a hard time even with liquids, although I get them down. It's different then when I was too tight, it's a constant dull pain that is really annoying.

Does this sound like slippage? I've been doing liquids the past 2 days to play it safe. If i'm not better I'll call my doc tomorrow.

Just wanted to see if anyone who has slipped had any of these symptoms?

Not sure if this is a slippage. It sounds like you are too tight. Call your doc! keep us all posted!

When my band slipped, there was no getting anything in, not even water. You may have gotten to much of a fill, and seemed tighter since there was a long time since your last fill. Make sure you contact your doctor if no changes soon.
