Band is very fickle

I had an Upper GI in November and radiologist said all looked well with my band. The surgeon wanted it b/c I was having bad reflux and at that time I had a slight unfill. I have not been to see surgeon since then. The snow here has caused some canceled appointments and I am supposed to go Wednesday. (Due for Nor'Easter, so will probably be canceled again.) Today I had a cup of hot tea and took my morning pills. They went tdown slowly, but all was weel. Than about 11 I had a 1/2 cup of really smooth chicken salad. Since then I have had reflux, sliming and finally made my self bring it up as it was so uncomfortable. I can't keep liquids down. I am hungry, but am afraid to eat.
I have been having some reflux for about 2 weeks again and am worried. I did email the PA last week, but got no response, which is odd. I am going to call tomorrow if I can. Very hard at school where everyone is over your shoulder every minute.
I feel 'sore' so know to do liquids/mushies, but any suggestions or thoughts would be appreciated.
