Thrown band

What does a band feel like if it is thrown or out of place?  I have been under alot of stress and have not eaten much today but I have liquids coming up when I drink them and it feels like I have food on my band.  Does anybody know what is going on?

 

BTW when I got sick there was no hard pushing just bend over and it comes back up.

 

Thanks for any help or advise.

It's hard to tell you may just be tight from stress, but any time there is a drastic difference I'd say contact your surgeon.

It could be from stress. It happens to me when for instance we are out to dinner and my kids are acting up then I order my food take one bite and that is it! I am hungry but there is no way that my band will take anything else. 

 

Our stomachs are muscles and they tighten up like the rest of them, mine is also tighter when it is cold outside.

May just be stress. But if liquids won't go down, don't leave it long before getting it checked. Whatever the cause, our bodies get dehydrated very quickly.

But some has returned! Up to 175, argh! Off we go again,

You should go in to have a barium swallow to see if there is a problem. It would be hard to diagnose without having some testing done first. Sometimes a complete unfill for a few weeks is all that is necessary.
