By flip I assume you mean the port. You will know if your port flipped when you go to get a fill; they will not be able to access it. It happens because it wasn't stitched down enough or a stitch came loose.
By slip, that would be the band. You would get acid reflux, nasea and/or vomiting. The band can slip if it wasn't placed correctly, if you don't follow your post-op diet properly while healing, if you consistently overeat or vomit too much.
Good Luck!

I agree with Jodi (still love the avatar girl!)...as for the Flip Symptoms and speaking from experience, it hurts when it is flipped, because it isn't placed correctly. The port digs into the muscle (because the raised part is now inverted). Normally it lies flat agains the muscle it is attached to. Also the pulling of the stitches hurts like hell...pardon my language, but that's the best way to describe it.
From what I understand and reading about people that have had slippages...sometimes they can be corrected by getting an unfill and going back on liquids for a couple of days. I've never personally experienced a slip, so I can't tell you what it feels like though.

I was told that if you slip you vomit, vomit and vomit. No matter how loose the band is...
I was also told that since I have the new AP band, if I were to slip, the could go in, unsnap it and replace the stomach where it needs to go and re-put the band back on.
For me that was reassuring that all my money wouldn't go to waste!
