Band Slippage??

Does this sound like a slipped band to you..I am 2 weeks post op still on liquids but experiencing a lot of tightness today..I just drank some Water and it feels like it is just sitting behind my breast bone.

I went to lay down and I felt some stuff come up in my throat. I have no pain and I have been basically following my diet and only consuming liquids. I also dont have any pain or nausea. Just tightness and a lot of noises down there.

Im starting to freak out!

It doesn't necessarily mean your band has slipped unless you were vomiting a lot. Depending on what you are eating you might just have a blockage. You may want to call your doctor if the feeling doesn't go down.

Sounds like general post-op swelling but if you're not getting any liquids down, you really should call the doctor. Don't drink then go lie down. It will come back up and you will not enjoy it. Take smaller sips instead of doing half a glass at a time. For the first few weeks after my surgery I could feel and hear the sloshing sound of water sitting above my band in my stomach when I walked.
