What test can be done to check for slip or damage?

CRISTAN · March 4, 2006

I am happy with my weight loss so far....but am concerned about erosion and slippage. Being banded in Mexico I have very little follow up. I feel fine but would like to get tested at a year to check and be sure all is well. Any suggestions would be helpful. thanks..:help:

An upper GI series is the only way to check for slippage :biggrin1:

So, what is that exactly? My fills are under flouro....would we see anything there? I think I am making myself sick worrying about the band. I had the food poisioning or the flu and vomited a few times..now it seems I have no restriciton...so I am concerned.

Its only been 12 hours.....I have had great restriction for the last 3 months.....so I will wait and see what happens the next few days.

Thanks,

Cristan

If you're getting your fills under flouro, this is the perfect way to check band position.

I worried about slippage the first dozen times I PB'd. After going to the fill clinic and being put under the flouroscope a couple of times to make sure everything was still ok I stopped stressing over it.
