How would a bander know if a "slip" took place?

That is my biggest fear...having my band slip! My doctor told me that if my band slipped I would know it because I would not be able to keep any food down and I would be vomiting all the time.

I was wondering the exact same thing. Now after I've had my surgery, which went well. I'm worried that something bad could happen and I wouldn't even know it until it was too late.

Yeah, I totally stress this and I haven't even had a fill. I guess it's part of the 'too good to be true' syndrome. I am just waiting for what might go wrong subconsciously.

This is what my surgeon said as well. Slippage is not as common as it once was because now most surgeons will take a fold of the stomach and pull it over the band and stitch it down...similar to the elastic waist of a pair of slacks.
