What are the signs the band has slipped???

I just read a lot of threads here and I have been really hungry and coughing a lot since I have a flu right now... I just do not know what signs I have to look for to possibly consider that my band has slipped since I read the story when someone had a flu and an empty stomach their band slipped.

I heard it is something very serious and you have to go for an emergency surgery and stuff like that.

How do you know? :frown:

What are some signs?

Did anyone here had that happen and why - what did you do wrong for it to slip?

Thanks for your input.

I asked my doc. about it. He said if the band slips you suddendly can't keep anything down, even water. I would call your doc. about the flu if you are vomiting. Vomiting can cause a slip, the doc. can call in a prescription to help with that. Feel better soon.
