I just had surgery on Monday for my band slipping. My symptoms were that I couldn't even keep liquids down. I couldnt even keep water down. I was throwing everything up. When I went to my Dr, he ordered a chest xray and saw the slip. He then ordered a swallow test to see how bad. He took all the fluid out of my band and scheduled emergency surgery. So here it is 2 days post op and I still feel like someone to a ball bat to my stomach. There was a lot more damage than what the Dr originally anticipated. If you think you have slipped, I urge you from experience to go to your Dr right away!
