How do you know if you have band slippage? What are the symtoms?

SueSue,

I'm starting to think I may know. My band seems like it is getting slowly tighter. I have a feeling that my fill doctor is going to make me have exrays next time I go in to see him. When I was in getting an unfill befor thanksgiving the doctor said that if you pib or get sick really hard that can make the band slip. I did that when I tried to eat a chile dog. I only got three bites down befor all of it came back up.

What was I thinking.

From what I can research, band slippage symptoms are nausea and vomiting.

This last week I went to the doctor due to excessive heartburn and not being able to eat enough. I was losing really fast (at least 7 lbs a week). I know I never thought I would complain about losing weight but when you buy a pair of jeans and they fit and the next week they are falling off of you there is an issue. So, I went and they x-rayed me and found out I had a slippage. I had a cold back in August and due to excessive coughing I now have a slippage and have had one for a while. I am now on a liquid diet for 7 days and a mushy diet for the next 7 days to see if the diet fixes it, which they are confident it will. So, hope this helps and that you start to feel better.

Dieta:)
