I was wondering if you can explain how or why the band would slip. How would you know if your band is still in place? Any signs or symptoms? What would be done if the band does slip and cna it be replaced?

It's often without symptoms. But a bad case of acid reflux and difficulty keeping food down are sometimes sytmpoms. It can only be revealed through fluoroscopy or other diagnostic-imaging type tests. The band can be re-positioned through surgery, although sometimes they get in there and discover the band has to be replaced.

If you do a search in the upper right hand corner on slippage you'll find loads of info- Hope it helps
