New Pain, Lap Band Slippage?

Ok, so I was banded in Dec. of 2010. I have had 3 fills (if I remember correctly) and I do not know how many cc's. Regardless, I do not have any previous issues eating until recently when I just feel like I am able to eat a ton more. So I scheduled another fill for next week. Well last last, as I was eating, I literally felt a popping sensation in my uppper left stomach area. It wasn't painful. I am not in sever pain thismorning but am definately noting some discomfort in the upper area (not down where the port it at all) and it has me concerned. Could this be slippage? I will be devastated if it is. (Yes I plan on calling the dr's offce they just dont open for a few hours)

I am newly banded, and have never experienced slippage but I was involved in a motor vehicle accident and I was concerned with slippage so my doctor told me what to look out for. He didn't mention any "popping" sensation. I do get that sometimes but think it's gas. He said the symptoms are nausea, and vomiting primarily!

You are smart to call them anyway!!!

Good luck!
