Hi all. I was banded a year ago this month. For the past 2-3 weeks I've been having horrible back pains. Stomach aches high up, in the center of my abdomen and pain around my port. Starts out as a dull ache and eventually cramps, like someone is squeezing my insides. Nausea. I've been feeling heartburn again, which I know is a sign of band slippage. Could the other stuff be symptoms of a slippage too? And is a slippage an emergency situation? Because I have finals and really don't have time for a doctor appointment, but if it's an emergency I'll definitely go.
