I am really unsure what happened to cause my band to slip. I don't think the band actually slips itself but your lower portion below the band actually slips up past the band causing the problem. Anyway, last month I had a round with the GI virus with the vomitting and whole nine yards. After that sometime I began noticing that when I ate my food felt like it was up in my chest and would take forever to digest. I "ignorant like" thought that maybe I was finally feeling some good restriction. Then one week I had heartburn continously. Called the doctor's office and scheduled a visit. The doc done a barium swallow, radiologist said it was okay, done a 2cc fill (my band is 14cc). That day and the next all I did was vomit. Ended up in the hospital with vomitting and dehydration. Did another swallow the next day and was found to be obstructed. Removed all of the fluid from the band, stayed on full liquids for two weeks. Feel fine right now but for the next three months I will have no restriction. Doc said today that at the end of three months we would start with a rapid fill and would not be as slow. I will need encouragement the next three months. I am determined not to put any weight back on so wish me luck!!!:sad:

how do you know if your band slips i am one week post op i HAD that feeling in my chest but now a day later its gone could it be that the band slipped

Being one week post-op and probably still on full liquids it probably has not. Maybe just getting settled to it. If it returns I would call the doctor but I think you are okay.
