PLEASE HELP! Signs of a slipped band?
If just one episode of throwing up led to band slips, almost everyone would have them!
The most usual sympton is a dramatic increase in tightness. At the least extreme end this might be difficulty in eating and reflux. At the other extreme, it might be so tight that you couldn't even swallow your own saliva.

Highest 290, Banded - 248 Lowest 139 (too thin!). Comfort zone 155-165.
Happily banded since May 2006. Regain of 28lbs 2013-14. ALL GONE!
But some has returned! Up to 175, argh! Off we go again,
The odds of you slipping your band from you throwing up once isnt going to happen. I have thrown up before due to being sick and I was just fine .
It takes quite abit of throwing up for you to slip your band once isnt going to make you slip your band if that was the case everybody here on this board would have slip bands :o)

I got food poisoning 10 months after i had been banded....i dry heaved so hard several times...and my band never slipped, however, i was very swollen, so i saw my surgeon and have an unfill to let thing get back to normal and unswell then started getting fills again...i ended up losing 115 lbs in 15 months. Just baby your stomach...liquids for a few days and see how u feel!
When my band slipped, I hadn't been having any problems like vomiting. Suddenly I started having constant heartburn, reflux, and chest pain. No nausea, but it was increasingly difficult to eat...then difficult to drink. A complete unfill and rest period cured it.
