Do I need to be concerned about this feeling?

Yesterday I (day off), slept in till 0900 - got up and piddled around with minor everyday chores - ate brunch around 1230. Had a cheese stick around 1500. Finished work on laptop and went over to sit on the couch and watch tv. Around 1600, I felt something at my band area that scared me a little. It was like a twist or flip (like the feeling that you would get if a 6-7 mo. fetus moved). It did not hurt or even present with any measure of pain or uncomfortability. I was just aware of it and have never experienced it before. I did not get to have supper until between 1930 and 2000. I ate supper without any problem whereas everytime I've eaten since being banded on 2/26/10 - I have felt some restriction. A burning in the esophagus, mild backwash, a feeling of being full with out eating much at all.(and I did push it to the limit) :eek: Well, last night I felt no restriction...I kept waiting for the burn or something, but... I do not have any fill in my band. I am scheduled to have my first fill 4/5/10. This afternoon I did have to go into work, and while I had brunch at 1100 - I did feel a little restriction. When I was allowed solid food I feel like I did/do overeat.:sad: Has anyone experienced this feeling before?:tt1: I am going to ask my MD at the appt to get my first fill, but that happened last evening and the office is closed today...so I was wondering what it felt like when your band slips. I have heard that it is painful and makes you throw-up in time. I hate for this to unnerve me, but the unknown can do that.:eek:Remember...I have no fill, and this is the first time that I have had this feeling and had virtually no pain. Thank you Betsy for giving me your suggestions/advise.:smile2:.....
