oh no............

About a week ago I had an episode where I ate and drank too much. I was kinda nausios that night and off and on the following days. I thought maybe it was something I ate or a little bug. It would come and go and i never threw up, or even felt close to needing to. A few days ago I noticed my back hurting and having intermitent chest pain. I wasn't sure if it was a back problem or a band problem...or even cardiac! I then started to feel like I had a gas bubble near my band. I only had 2 in my band, but I went and had a complete unfill friday. my surgeon is out of state for 2 weeks. I saw his nurse. She is unable to use the fluro machine so she said based on symptoms she wanted to do a complete unfill. That was 2 days ago. Gas pills help some. I find myself burping and feeling a bit better. I can eat and drink just as much as before, no problems. Today I ate a sandwhich and felt pain as soon as i finished. It felt a bit like being stuck. i didn't slime or anything though. I then sorta felt like a sort middle back and gas pain near band area. Tonight I noticed what i suspect is heart burn. Its not in my throat but feel a wamness near my band area. Its not pain..just a feeling. I have put myself on a liquid diet starting after that sandwhich. For dinner I have FF refried beans and no issues. I still have the heart burn (?) feeling. Im not in pain. I have a follow up wth surgeon in 8 days. I am so scared that this is a slip that will require surgery. Im a teacher and go back to school in 11 days!

This does sound like a slip right? Given the situation is there any chance that it will fix itself?
Im not at all opposed to having this removed, I would just rather it not be an immediate need. i would love to research a sleeve revision but would need to establish myself with a different office. my office only does band. That process would take 3+ months I think.

Sometimes and unfillwill fix the slip, but once you sli you are much more prone to get one again.

 Sazz, I would post this in the Lapband Forum as well as Im sure you will get more useful information for fellow Lapbandsters...

Had my scope done today, its an erosion!!  im so pissed.  i have never kept the band tight, let alone too tight.  My office and hospital only do bands so I doubt I can even get a revision done at the same time.  I HATE the band!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
