What are the symptoms of band slippage?

[Guest guest]

Hi Nina and all! It has been ages since I have posted, almost

everyone on here seems new, but I need some help now! I was banded

May 10, 2005 so I am almost 37 weeks post op, I have lost 60 pounds so

far. I have started to have some odd symptoms in the last few weeks

and I am a little nervous that my band may have slipped or I am having

some other kind of complication. My stomach makes REALLY loud

gurgling or bubbling noises all the time, when I eat, when I don't

eat, when I drink, when I don't drink. It is so loud other people can

hear it, and it feels like I need to burp all the time, but I can't.

Sometimes I can eat anything just fine and sometimes I can barely get

liquids down. Sometimes it is tighter in the morning sometimes not,

sometimes I can't drink water but I will eat an egg and be fine then a

couple hours late I will try water and again can't get it down. I

can't find a good source for what the symptoms are for band slippage,

but something seems to be happening that I can't explain. Any ideas?

Thanks!
