Doubtful your band slipped. You probably had too big of a fill. If you can't swallow spit you need to go to the doctor ASAP before you become dehydrated..

I'm going in first thing in the morning... Thanks for the reassurance.

Suck on some Ice Chips and see if you can keep that down. But yes it sounds like it was too big of a fill. After your Fill did you drink a cup of water? Did it go down?

Joy, I hope everything is okay! It does sound like an overfill. My doctor actually does the fill under fluroscope which shows the liquid that can pass through. I hope all is well, keep us posted!! :mellow:

I gues your doctor is the best person to tell you whether the band has slipped or no.

I guess it is too tight that's why you can't get anything down.
