First question – what did you do that causes you to think you have a slippage?

 

While I never had one, after some on-line research I have found that symptom are different person to person.

 

Here are some common symptoms: bad acid reflux; loss/no restriction; can’t keep anything down bu****er (or not even water); nausea and vomiting

Secondly - if you think you have a slippage CALL YOUR DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY !! and get it checked out

Good Luck on your Journey !!

I had a bypass so I do not know but you MUST call your doctor and be seen or get to an emergency room.  Good luck.
