have i slipped my band??

[Guest Chack]

Hello

I am new to your forum and really enjoying reading your posts.

I have recently had a fill which was too tight and caused me to vomit my saliva every 20 minutes until 4am when i went to the emergency rooms to have some saline removed.

As I vomited so many times I am now worried that this may have caused the band to slip or to stretch the pouch.

Does any bandsters out there know if vomiting will cause this to happen?

Thank you

Chack

Many time I wondered, did I slip it or mess everything up. This thing is hard to mess up....If not I'd of busted mine up. I have made every mistake I can think of...Dont worry..Its not a delicate thing or mine isnt....If installed correctly Id say it takes a lot to move this thing!

Chack, frequent vomiting might be a culprit in some cases of band slippage, but no one can say if you have done anything to yours just now. Many people have had episodes of being too tight, even going to the ER, with no long-term effects.

Watch for symptoms, such as a suddenly increased or decreased ability to eat, reflux, pain, or anything else unusual. If there's anything that concerns you, see your doctor! They can diagnose slippage with a fluoroscopy exam.
