Can my band slip even though it's not filled?

I'm a week away from getting my first fill and for about two days I have had some nausea but nothing major and haven't thrown up. I've wanted to though. I know the chance of a slip is rare as it is but could it be possible to happen even before my first fill? Just need some advice to rest my mind until I see the doctor.

I've also noticed my appetite has increased over the past couple of weeks, is that normal too?

No possible way for me to know,...but your symptoms do not sound band related at all....

Nausea and vomiting are something the band dos not cause, to the best of y knowledge.

I know where I live, there is a bug going around...

I have had my lap-band since 2006. I started to have very bad GERD, so bad that I was vomiting small amounts in my sleep. Went for an adjustment and my APN removed all of the fluid (but there was only 1mL in). Since then I haven't had to vomit and the acid reflux has drastically decreased. Just came back from my esophogram test today. Sure enough, mine slipped :(. So technically mine was in the slipped position without any fill. But it sounds like yours hasn't slipped. Probably just need to adjust to eating less food. Hope I helped!
