Sometimes you have very few symptoms. Once in awhile none at all (but that's rare)

Some symptoms of a slipped pain can be pain, reflux, night cough, sudden inability to eat foods you could before, sudden band tightness, and vomiting.

ASK YOUR DOCTOR to do an Upper G.I.

The patient usually presents with dysphagia, vomiting, regurgitation and food intolerance. The diagnosis is made by upper gastrointestinal series. Complications related to band slip include gastric perforation, necrosis of the slipped stomach (type-V prolapse), upper gastrointestinal bleeding and aspiration pneumonia.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
