Confused...

I don't know if I'm over reacting, but my band started feeling different yesterday so now I'm wondering if it has slipped. I'm not in pain, as a matter of fact I feel the best since surgery. But there is no uncomfortable feeling when I eat. The tight feeling in my chest is gone. Where certain things used to get stuck so easily, now everything goes down easy. I don't know if it is just me and I'm getting used to chewing very well and taking smaller bites, or if it is just time for a fill. It has been five weeks since my last fill which was my first one, and I have one scheduled for Saturday. I see alot of people talking about pain with a slip, so I'm not sure if I am just worrying about nothing or what.

Kayla, that sounds very normal. My first few fills only held me a couple of weeks, and as I lost weight, the restriction went away. When you go in for your next fill, ask your doctor about the percentage of slips and erosion issues (s)he that he has in his practice, if that would make you feel better. Also ask him what you can do to help minimize those problems happening to you. My doctor's rate is less than 1%. These things do happen, but you can help reduce the risk by adhering to the rules.
