Can you guys explain what causes slippage.

My slippage was caused by a very bad stomach virus that made me throw up for 4 days. A sign its a problem is you can't keep liquids down. I went to ER because I thought I was dying. Should have gone sooner. Went to lapband doc at beginning of stomach virus and they took out all the liquid in the Band. Helped a little not completely. I had to have my band fixed with another surgery. they didn't even have to replace it just reposition the old band. My Best advice don't get overfilled and as soon as you throw up more then usual contact your doctor. A stomach virus can be deadly to a lapband patient.
