How do you know if you have a slip?

Symptoms are different with everyone who has a slip, in general u may experience a sudden amount of restriction that u never felt before, reflux, pain, sickness slips arent common if u are concerned u should contact your doctor.

The only way you can know for sure is if your surgeon checks for one. If you're concerned you might have one, I'd make an appointment.

For me I had reflux. I couldn't sleep without stomach acid almost choking me. That was my early warning sign. When I slipped I was puking all the time dried blood. It looked like fine coffee grinds. Also I couldn't keepmanything down and got severely dehydrated.

If you think you may have a slip, you need to get to your surgeon immediately.

Well I had a slip!!! I called my surgeon on Saturday he wasn't there so they called

him and he said for me to go the ER! now I have a 5,000 dollar bill and they had to re do my lap band. I'm upset cause I went on tuesday and he just took out 1cc, I think he should of done more! Or even had menfo in sited of the ER!

Oh no. So sorry about your slip. I hope you feel better soon!!

So you have just had more surgery?

Yea, I got the lap band February 17 and on sunday June 10 I got an emergency surgery cause it slip and I had food stuck and if I waited more I could of lost my stomach or me.

Sorry to hear that. What surgery did they do?

Do they know what caused the band to slip? Was it something you ate? How long was the food stuck?

Hope you feel better now

2% of lap band procedures just happen, the dr also mention that it was not on properly the post where they inject the fills was also up side down! Food was stuck maybe 1 week since then I was feeling horrible pain but it would go away, until this weekend it just wouldn't.
