I would give it a week and if it is still the same, schedule another appointment. They should be able to check your fill level at that time.

It doesn't sound like a slip at all.

It doesn't sound like a slip and I doubt a leak since you just had it done. Didn't mention if you had a fluoro or not but that would have told you at the time of the fill. You have been banded a year now so you should have learned good eating habits so try to use them while the band isn't working for you. I know with my fills it can take up to a month before I feel the fill which is disappointing. But I don't wait for the fill to kick in before I eat right cause I don't want to gain. It is hard but you can do it. You have lost 50 lbs - great job. Use what you know to achieve what you can until the band helps you out. Good luck
