Cough your band out of place?

I know this seems like a weird thing to ask, but I have been so sick and really coughing. I had a couple of weird pains for the past few days. They seem muscular because they have gotten better through the week. So I am wondering with all my coughing, could I have caused my band to slip? From what I have read I would be throwing up. I haven;t I am just paranoid because I have had the band surgery twice. My first one had a leak :(

    It's not likely.

    I was thinking the exact same thing this morning. I have mucus in my chest from a sinus infection I guess, and I have been coughing and hacking trying to get it out. I don't think it is anything to worry about because it is unlikely this will cause a slippage.
