How does one knowif a band has slipped?

"Patients experience symptoms of reflux (heartburn) as well as nausea and vomiting. A patient who has been going along fine, with no problems, and then suddenly [without a recent fill] develops reflux symptoms or symptoms of a too-tight Band [may] have a slipped Band."

"Indications of a slipped band include light-headedness, nausea or vomiting, reflux and a feeling of pain or pressure in the abdomen... Notice if the pain or pressure increases when you breathe deeply or lie down... (or) if you are experiencing night coughs, which may be another indication of a slipped band.

"If you are experience severe pain or vomiting blood, go to the emergency room immediately.

"If you suspect your band has slipped, call your doctor."
