How can I tell if my band has slipped?

I got the surgery three months ago. Last night I took a stool softener and went to bed. About an hour later I work up with bad reflux and I tried to drink a glass of water but it came back up. Now it sort of fills like there is a pill stuck up in my throat, but I also am wondering if the band has slipped out of place. It's really bothering me to swallow. What are the symptoms?

Try hot liquids to see if it will loosen it. You might just be way too tight. If you aren't loosened by mid-day, I'd be high-tailing it to my doc for an unfill.
