Dr C - PB/Dilation/Slip??

Wow - I have started to experience this, too - I have started to toss up everything I eat. Last night, I had a little bit of lamb, and when it got stuck, went in to pb - this time, it was more like a preband toss...a lot of volume...I am freaking out that I might have slipped my band, dilated my pouch, etc. I just saw my doc on Tuesday; didn't get a fill...am at 1.4 cc in a 4cc band...my doc is banded, too and when she does fills its not under flouro...any advice, Dr. C??

Well I would unfill you a little and see if that helps. If not then I would be a formal upper GI and maybe a scope.
