i will i know if my band has slipped? I had my second fill about a month ago and i get sick alot! If i have a salad I can only take 3or4 bites and I am done. I am burping alot and have alot of gurgling noises! Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Lettuce is tough to digest....Burping is pretty normal... I don't know how to tell if the band slipped but I would speak with your dr if you are getting sick. I am not sure if you mean flu or cold sick or sick to your stomach.

Sounds like you are very tight. Lettuce is hard to digest because it is difficult to chew it fine enough not to have pieces slide through and get stuck. Burping is common but excessive burping and hiccuping can happen when you are tight. My question to you is this, can you eat what you are suppose to, 3-4 ozs of Protein and 1/4 or 1/2 cup veggies at lunch and dinner. If you can not eat a cup of food at each meal than you are to tight. If you think you will lose faster because you are eating less, yes you will lose weight but you risk the chance of losing valuable lean muscle mass if your body does not get adequate nutrition. Remember your heart is a muscle also.

Your WLS surgeon and their staff are always the best alternative when you are concerned if your band is working right, give them a call, nothing is worth risking your health or your band.
