I think I've slipped

PLEASE HELP! I've noticed over the past few months that acid reflux is a daily occurrence for no apparent reason causing me to have a consistent coughing sensation. I vomit eating foods I've never had issues with in the past. Some soft foods struggle getting down. I feel discomfort in my chest and stomach and just feel yucky. Do any of these symptoms sound like that of a sipped band?

Hi,

The only thing I can say is, call the doctor as soon as you get up in the morning. This should have been done after the first day of not feeling well. That is why they are there. They know the band better than anyone.

Feel better and call!!!

I most definitely will...thanks.

The symptoms you describe can be a slip, but you have to have it verified through imaging. The earlier you do this the better chances you have of doing an unfill and having it self correct. Longer you wait, requires surgical intervention
