Band Slippage?????? or just in need of another fill?

I had the lap band 3 yrs ago. I was doing great, until 3wks ago, all of a sudden I feel NO restriction, I can eat a full large meal (like prior to surgery) and still be hungry, this has never happen. I can also gulp water which has always been a no no for me. i have never been able to gulp without sliming. Could my band have slipped. I have no symptoms of slippage, like coughing at night, vomiting and reflux (but I did have every one of these for atleast 8 months prior to this last fill in july. Since July and with this last fill, I have GAINED 10 pounds and have NO restriction, whats really going on. Hopefully I just need another fill, but I all feels weird because I always had restrictions, until this last fill. I am having a UGI on sunday, so hopefully its in place and I just need another fill. Anyone else experience this? Oh and I have always had difficulty swallowing pills, today I swallowed a huge co enzyme 10 cap. without a problem.
