What Are The Symptoms If.....

Your band has slipped?? If your small pouch has stretched out?? And if you have had the I-band (Plication) and your stomach might have issues from the sewing of the stomach, maybe streched out from over eating at the beginning of your healing process and learning how to eat.

Thanks..

If your band has slipped in a minor way and you've developed a stretched pouch above it - you might find you can eat more and faster. This would trigger you to think I need a fill but the fill wouldnt really have much effect. Slipped bands more commonly cause you to not be able to hold down solid food at all, and sometimes not even liquids. A major slip wont go unnoticed, a very minor one might - but then a very minor one may also be fixable simply by unfilling the band and allowing it to resettle.

however everyone is different, and there's a huge range of symptoms which can indicate problems, and you may experience all or none of them, its impossible to say. The best bet is if you have a weird symptom, see your doctor! The other thing is a completely normal, functional band can feel very strange at times. For example, I now get pain and heartburn when I'm physically hungry rather than stomach rumbling/empty feelings.

dont know anything about the iband sorry.
