carolc, you've had your band much longer than I have so you have more experience.

My pain was a few weeks after surgery so I don't know if if can be the same kind of thing a year later. If your band did shift, I think it probably would have made some nerve endings very unhappy. The pain made me double over. And then one day it was gone.

But based on your note "it doesn't hurt when I am just sitting still but if I then try to move it is terrible". That is what my "raw unhappy nerve" did. I was OK sitting but moving was like a lightening bolt thru my stomach.

I always error on being cautious, at least call your Doc. When I call mine, he says come in, no matter what. He's also very cautious and so far (except for the initial slipped band) I've never had a problem.
