How do you know if you have a slip or a twist can you tell?

You should try to get a fluoroscopy X ray as soon as possible to confirm whether your band is positioned properly.  What's leading you to think that you have a slip? Are you experiencing pain or other symptoms?  Unable to eat solid food?

Having no problems but have had diarrah for over a month and my tummy is sometimes hard. Well I googled lap band and these symptoms and found another lady who band had twisted but she was vomiting and had pain in her side and diarrah but still I'm a bit worried. The other problem is I have been trying to get in with a new doctor do to the fact my left town. Last time I saw a doctor was fen of this year. Everything was good and I only have 3cc in my band but I'm just a bit scared I would like to know do you vomit with a slip or a twist what cause these to happen? I feel ok beside the diarrah.

Hard to see how  band could cause diarrhoea.  This is much more likely to be non-band related and it has lasted for a month it needs checking out a.s.a.p..  Have you changed your diet?

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,

It 's probably not even band related, try seeing your primary care doc for starters you may just need some imodium. Lots of things cause bowel issues.
