Possible band slipping question

I have recently had another 1ml fill and have had 2 other 1ml fills previously. Just before I had the 1ml fill I could eat a fairly large amount (a 200gram steak, chips and salad for example) and although I have lost 70kg's my weight started to slowly creep back up which scared me. After the fill, I could still pretty much eat that much.

How do I tell if my band has slipped? I have heard various experiences with band slippage and some say you can eat lots, or that you throw up. What are the symptoms that you know of that could be signs of band slippage?

Anyone had their band slip and can share experiences?

If your band has slipped, what do you have to do to get it fixed?

From what I've read, the symptoms can get pretty rough. To include severe reflux that wakes you up in the middle of the night. If you go into the complications forum, you can find several threads about it.

As for how to fix it, I've heard that sometimes it works to just completely unfill it and let it rest for a bit to slide back into place on its own.
