Can my Lap Band Slip Up Due to Increased Gas Pushing my Stomach Up?

January 18, 2013

I have had my lap band for 6 yrs and had no problems until now. The last three days I have not been able to eat anything except a little water and melted ice cream. I have had excess gas just recently and noticed how bloated my stomach was, could it have pushed up my lap band??? I can't add a photo as there is nothing to show now. Many thanks..
