PLEASE HELP!

I have had my band for 2 1/2 years and have thrown up maybe 3 times, twice in the past month.

This evening i got really sick and i think i felt my band slip. Can you actually feel it slip, or was probably that something else?

should i call my doctor right away? or should i go on liquids for a bit and see how i feel?

I am not at all in pain (feel a lot better then before) but i am really worried.

i need help, i am 300 miles away from my doctor and would REALLY like to avoid seeing a stranger if possible.

thank you so much.

You need to see your doctor, but if you are keeping liquids down I don't think it is an emergency. Until you know for sure, it might be a good idea to stick to a full liquid/soft stuff diet so you don't get anything stuck.

Good luck and please let us know how you do.

Don't chance it. Go to get it checked out. Mine slipped and started killing my stomach. A slipped band can cause serious problems. I had mine removed last March. Looking to get it put back in. It's still a good tool. Just dont' take problems lightly.
