Did my band slip?

[nonono 0]

So, I have really horrible periods, which sometimes cause vomiting... this last cycle, I had vomiting, which was the first time its happened since my surgery in December. I couldnt stop writhing and dry-heaving and i was SO afraid the whole time because I knew that it could cause band slippage. For the next three days I couldnt keep any food down other than Water (although, i must admit, I was extremely stressed out as well). Since then (almost two weeks) I've been on and off with keeping food down and have woken up a few times in the middle of the night coughing because there was acid in my throat. I also have felt weird pain in my abdomen on my left side at times.. it almost feels like gas?

i dont know.. does it sound like slippage? Im so afraid.. I dont want another surgery.. my first one was in Mexico and I had the worst complications and had to stay there for so long after.. I just dont want to go through it again.. any info? anyone go through this?

help! and thanks in advance

I don't want to scare you but you need to see your doctor right away. It could be a slipped band or something else. You shouldn't wait around or guess based on "maybe" or "could be". Go find out for sure! Acid in the throat at night is a sign of slippage especially after throwing up constantly. You can recover from a slipped band so all the best to you on your journey!

No, it doesn't sound like a slip. It sounds like classic signs of being too tight. That is probably caused from swelling because of the vomiting. You should probably go get a little unfill until the swelling goes down. That acid in the throat is horrible. Try sleeping with a couple extra pillows until you can get to the doctor.

i think it sounds like a slip, the dry heaving is a def sign. I had a slip and it sounds just like it.

when you can not keep anything down, its a issue.

i slipped from dryheaving, but also we are not Dr.s DEF go see a DR ASAP

I second the notion to see your doc. right away. I know traveling is a pain but your health is worth it. I don't know what it is, but you need to find out.
