Question:
Could this be band slippage?

I have been having some problems over the last month. I am 2 and a half years out from lapband. About a month ago I had a bad pain on my right side just below my ribs. I went to ER and they did ultrasound of gall bladder. It seemed fine. Since then I have had days I cant keep anything down and days I am just fine. Had the pain again the other day now I am scheduled for a Hida Scan of gall bladder on Tuesday. This morning when I woke up I had the worst acid reflux going on. Have not tried eating yet. I am really starting to wonder if this could be a slipped band? Any ideas.....same symptoms? Would love some advice on what you think this could be.    — Babbles (posted on February 22, 2009)

Sounds like it could be I wouldn't take a chance. Call your surgeon.

Your symptoms seem to be consistent with gall bladder problems, but as you know, once a bariatric patient-always a bariatric patient. Please let your bariatric surgeon know what's going on; his/her expertise about your revised G.I. system is vital to your care. Good luck and God bless. Julie P. RN
