need help...

So I was banded in Dec, have had two fills, the last one on Feb 11. I was able to still eat everything, in tiny portions of course. I flew to San Diego on feb 19, got sick on the 21st, threw up 3 times and it was like foamy... strange. On the morning of the 22nd, I felt really good restriction. As the day went on I got super sick. Flew home that night feeling AWFUL, like super nauseous! (and I'm not prego!) Anyways, I've had the flu since then, and I have had no restriction at all. I am not eating a lot, because I am not used to it anymore. But I'm worried something happened. I have had an ache under my left boob all day. I called my dr, and have an apt for a fill or a check NEXT thursday... I dont know if it just so happens I got really sick AND lost my restriction on the same day... or if my throwing up made it slip?? I felt that stuck feeling once since that Sunday morning, but nothing else. I'm so afraid I messed it up

Anyone that had a slip have any comments???

Is your port on the left side? Maybe you retched the skin when throwing up.

Remain calm and tell yourself your band is fine. Severe stress will only make it worse for you. Try to get rehydrated. To me it doen't sound like a slip, but I know you are worried.
