What kind of signs do I look for if I consider that there might be a slippage.

I just hear a lot of different stories like there is a lady who had a flu and her band clipped because she was coughing...

I have a flu... I am couching... I do not want to go into an emergency surgery...

What are some signs?

Reflux.....I don't know how much you would have to cough to cause it to slip, but throwing up will cause slippage. I wish I had known that reflux was not just being too tight, but also slippage....they do an easy swallow test to tell if you have slippage....you also don't have to have surgery immideatly, they will take fluid out first. Check with you Dr. Good luck.......

I too have the flu. I am not going to have any unfill. My surgeon said if you have to cough alot due to flu or something go to Dr and get a prescription cough med. They gave me Hycodan and one teaspoon every 4 - 6 hours. I really works.

My band slipped a month ago - had to in for a revision surgery. Signs of slippage for me were MAJOR reflux and then and inability to even keep down a sip of Water after a few days of non-stop vomiting. Hate to put it this way, but if it's a slip, you'll kinda *know*...

Good luck and hope all is well!!!
