Slipping band

[harleymin 0]

I have had my lap band for 3 1/2 years now. I am very happy with my weight loss of 120 lbs and have maintained it. I started having trouble keeping food down about a month ago. I don't know if I am still eating too fast of too much. It is a hard habit to break. My doctor loosened my band, but I am still having trouble. I have this annoy feeling that there is something in my throat and discomfort. It hurts but not real bad pain. Is this the symptom of a slipped band? harleymin13

It can be symptoms of a slip, yes.

I would ask your surgeon to check your band to see what's going on.

Better safe than sorry. It could just be a dilated pouch but either way you'll want your doc to check it out.

Personally I'd try and get in sooner, better safe than sorry.

I'd find out who is covering for him and see them. Just to be on the safe side.
