Band Slippage

I have been coughing so much lately. I was wondering if anybody could tell me how you know if your band has slipped. Can you feel it or are there other symptoms

    BigMom, some of the sypmtoms I was told by my Dr. os not having the ability to keep anything down without vomiting, however I know Leatha had her band slip and did not have that symptom. Chronic PBing can also aide in slippage. I would call your Dr. and let him know of your concerns. Maybe he can give you something to relieve the cough a bit :)

    Hi Bigmom... another symptom of a slipped band is reflux.

    Are you experiencing any vomiting or reflux?
