What are the signs of slippage?

Some but not all signs could be: pain, heart burn/reflux, night cough, inability to eat and/or drink, trouble eating so you have to resort to only slider foods.

Don't ever try to self diagnose a slip. Go see your surgeon and let him help.

The only sign I had to my slip was a nightime cough and severe reflux where I had never had it before. I sufferred for 4 mths cuz I was afraid my dr would unfill me. And unfill he did. Tried to get it back into place by just an unfill but it wasn't to be.

Had a sleeve revision on July 16th. After a year of a slipped band.

marfar7, at first glance... I thought you said,"nightmare" cough as a slip symptom!!!!

I had a nighttime, nightmare cough as a sign of band slip.had X-rays, band unfill, and repair of the slip.doing well now after a few months and some fills.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
