Worried!!

What are the symptoms of a slipped band? Not sure if this is what's going on, but recently I've been having difficulty with keeping down food as well as liquids.< /p>

My first slip was accompanied by severe pain any time I drank even a sip of liquid, no way I could have eaten. Being unable to keep food/liquid down can definitely be a sign of a slip, however, it could also just be that your band is too tight. I highly recommend you get it taken care of immediately, as regardless of what it is, it's not good for your band to be slipped or too tight.

Good luck!

No, I haven't had a fill in 7 months, it seems this inability 2 properly digest food or liquid just came suddenly. It is really uncomfortable and annoying!

You may have something stuck. I've had it happen where I'm going along fine and then suddenly something I could always eat starts to cause problems. If you are uncomfortable for more than 2 days you should go see your dr. A tiny unfill may be all you need.

Jrae is right. Follow his/her advice.

Hi! I had a weird spell just like this over the weekend! I was eating stuff I normally did and then had a spell where I couldn't even get Water down and the last fill I received was in March. I got stuck pretty bad Saturday but was able to flush it down, however Sunday, Monday and Tuesday I couldn't eat or drink anything. Went to my surgeon's office yesterday and got 1cc removed and voila! I was better! The nurse who does my fills said that ANYTIME you get stuck no matter how bad, your stomach gets irritated and inflamed which is what probably was wrong with me. Did you have a bad episode with getting stuck and maybe your stomach is inflamed? If you did and don't want to go to your surgeon, my nurse, Joann, told me to switch to liquids for 24-48 hours and that would give me time to let the swelling go down. Good luck!
