Symptoms of Band Slipping

Hey Guys,

It's been a while since I've posted. I've actually moved from New Jersey to Atlanta in July and have been busy settling in. I've noticed that I PB a lot more that I used to and I'm starting to notice a little pain in my stomach where my port is.

Part of the problem is , that I'm in Atlanta now and I can't seem to find a doctor who will see me regarding this here. My surgeon was in New Jersey (Dr. Abkin's office) and when I call them, they tell me to fly up to see them which is kind of hard to do.

I really wanted to see if anyone knows the symptoms of slippage before I book a flight out.

Thanks,:think

I found out in January I had a bad slip and that it needed to be removed or fixed I had zero symptoms only thing I noticed was I was getting hungry more often and was able to eat a lot more then I could before. So about 3 weeks ago I had it removed and plan on getting the sleeve next month. If I was you I get Your primary care doctor to get a upper gi done to see if you had a slip. That's how I found out. Maybe they can fax copies of the report to your old surgeon in the other state.
