It doesn't pay to worry too much about a slip. It's not something that happens to MOST people, and along your banding journey you will have times of being able to eat more, or less, or weird feelings, or gurgling, or even some heartburn and none of these is necessarily an indicator of a slip.

If you're really concerned, call your doctor. But in my experience people who have a slip KNOW it. Things feel VERY different, even if there isn't significant discomfort. CHHS, in the early days of banded life, it's NORMAL to be able to eat more than you think you should--this is called "bandster hell" and happens to everyone before their first (or even second) fill.
