Acid Reflux/heartburn - Possible Slip?

I have a doctor appointment later this week but I was curious in the meantime. For the last week, I've had either acid reflux or heartburn. A few days were pretty bad and others were mild. I'm nervous I've had a slip of the band. I'm not sure how common this is and I don't think I have any bad habits that would cause the band to slip. Anyone in or has been in a similiar situation - did you have a slip or did you have acid reflux without a slip?

Acid Reflux is a sign of a too tight band. You don't have a slip, if you did you wouldn't be able to keep anything down. If you keep your band too tight for too long, it could lead to one though. Have your doctor loosen you up a little at your appt this week. You'll be fine!

I also had it when I ate too late at night. Better if I stop eating at 8:00 pm...
