If my band slipped, would i be feeling better without help?

Last week in general i had a hard time holding food down, but i assumed it had to do with my time of the month..

on friday i was vomiting violently,wretching and gagging. it hurt to breathe, nothing wanted to stay down, i felt a painful preesure in my lowe chest. i was gassy and lightheaded, and then it suddently went away and i mean like from one minute to the next it was like roter rooter had cleared the pipe, and i have felt fine ever since.

no more vomiting or pain or anything and aside from the fact that my weight loss has stalled this month i feel lovely. i am holding down my food just fine, not even sliming.

now my daughter had had a 12 hour stomach virus the day before and its possible i caught it from her.

but the symptoms i had had sounded like classic slippage and i will be honest that the month before i may have pushed my band too hard, trying to eat things i shouldn't have eaten.

my dr. isn't in today and i don't want to page him if its not an emergency.

if this was a slippage would the symptoms dissipate?

I have had this happen and it wasnt a slip... something must have got stuck then it finally went through I bet. My friend had a slip and she was in lots of pain and it didnt go away

My concern was the the violent vomiting may have caused a slip. i doubt it was just something stuck because if something was stuck, no way it didn't come out with all that puking and wretching. i had been throwing up quite a bit this passed month but now its stopped.

i have also been having that "rising bubbles" sensation when i eat soft foods like a banana, which can mean the band is tight, but i'm only filled to 4 so it shouldn't be tight. im scared
