Hey, I am wondering if anyone here has experienced an anterior slip, if so, what were the symtoms? Too restricted, no restriction?? I am curious, and trying to get to the problem of my being unrestricted...any help would be awesome. I know w/ the posterior slip, one can hardly get liquids or anything down...so I need to know what the deal is!! Thanks anyone, for some help!!

My understanding is that the anterior slip is normally what people mean when they talk about slippage symptoms nowadays, and that the posterior slip is pretty much nonexistant since the pars flaccida technique became routine (since about 2002).

Your symptoms don't sound typical of slippage. I saw you posted you had an upper GI recently and you were told you have a leak. Is that still the case?

No, it's not, he figured that he must have missed the well, when he was trying to pull that fluid out, he ended up putting more in, then that was there and more when he went in the next time. I'm so confused. The upper GI said it was fine, the scope, the dr said it looked like it moved up, and the band was causing no compression on my stomach...so when he went to take the fluid out, and didn't see any, it seemed logical. But then the next time, it was all there...and he put more in, still no restriction...once in a great while. It just can't be coincidence that it was since I was sick, and throwing up violently. Something's definitely off.

Hey JLynn. I am feeling unrestricted too. I am getting filled tomorrow under fluoro, and I am nervous. I have no pain, but I am nervous because I feel like I can eat A LOT. Not as much as before, but more than I think I should be eating......

I am having pain a little at port and a lot in my back streight back from where the port is. I can not sit at table in streight chair or drive a car sitting up without bad pain starting in my back. Called doctors office, have an appointment for march 6th, hope i can hold out that long. Pain is really getting bad sitting up!!
