Doubtful your band slipped. You probably had too big of a fill. If you can't swallow spit you need to go to the doctor ASAP before you become dehydrated..

Suck on some Ice chips and see if you can keep that down. But yes it sounds like it was too big of a fill. After your Fill did you drink a cup of Water? Did it go down?

Joy, I hope everything is okay! It does sound like an overfill. My doctor actually does the fill under fluroscope which shows the liquid that can pass through. I hope all is well, keep us posted!! :mellow:

I gues your doctor is the best person to tell you whether the band has slipped or no.

I guess it is too tight that's why you can't get anything down.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
