Does anyone have any key signs of a slip? I've been having trouble keeping any real solid food down. Even stuff that I was able to eat even last week. I was banded with plication 11/2012

There's a lot of possible signs, but interestingly enough you can also have a slip with no symptoms whatsoever.

Some of the possible signs are night cough, acid reflux, inability to eat, the sudden ability to eat tons, pain, tightness in the chest, pain in the chest, referred left shoulder pain, vomiting, and/or the inability to swallow.

Those are just possible signs. You need to make an appointment with your surgeon to know for sure what's going on. This is especially true *if* you do have a slip- the sooner they catch it the better your chances of being able to correct it without surgery.

Best wishes.

Any time you have any symptoms that last longer than 2 weeks that does not resolve with going on liquids, if you've been irritated with food being stuck, should be examined by your lap band surgeon.

Classic signs of band slippage or pouch dilation are, new onset reflux and coughing especially at night, with stuff coming back up. And painful eating, and food intolerance issues.

Sometimes, if you've had a very bad stuck episode, it does not mean slippage, sometimes going on liquids a bit to see if things resolve will help, but again...slippage symptoms will not let up until you get some saline removed.

Chest pains (where the lap band pouch is located) not associated with heart issues, and painful eating, frequent vomiting and stomach pain and nausea..
