This has been going on for quite some time, but I figured I would try and see if this has been happening to anyone else. When I eat, there are a lot of times where I have to lay flat on my back in order for food to go down. It is instant relief as I can feel the food go down. Could my band have slipped and I just don't know? It happens after I take one bite of something.

Never had this problem, how tight is your band? It sounds like you have a fill a little to full!Call your surgeon for ab unfill. Karen

Talk to your doctor. He needs to figure out if you're too tight, not chewing enough or small enough bites, or slipped.
