Band Slipping

I just have a question for someone out there that can help. If your band slips what are the signs that you could look for. I mean does food not go down anymore do you not feel full or what? I have weird things going on and wanted to just see if someone could tell me what the signs of this was. Thank you.

As I understand it, when your band slips you have severe pain and are unable to eat or drink anything.

If you have any of these symptoms, you should contact your doctor immediately. You didn't mention

just what problems you are having so we're unable to give any nonprofessional advice, other than

good luck.

I guess what I think I have going on is that I am getting sick and don't want to believe it. I think I am getting a sinus infection and this is going to be the first one and don't know if that is the cause of it. My stomach hurts but not a bad hurt. I think it is the mucus going down. I can eat and drink just fine. I just have a headache and tummy ache. I just don't know what to take for it. I am new going down this road.

Drinking hot beverages can help break up the mucous.

My band is currently slipped. My only symptoms are reflux that occurs regularly. I'll have it repositioned on December 8th.

What would you take preband for your sinuses? You can probably still take it.

Best wishes! Joan
