Being too tight means that you are not in the green zone. You have passed through it into the dangerous red zone.
However, your post title suggests that you think you may be eating too fast so concentrate on slowing down considerably and see if this makes a difference.
If not, then get yourself off to your dr for a consultation and probably a slight unfill.
Being in the green zone means that you can eat, albeit slowly, and not vomit or PB. And you will be satisfied on a small amount of food for a longer period of time.

I'm coming up two years and have had no issues with my band either. I guess it is just more common for people to post when they do have issues and are looking for input from others in a similar position than it is for those of us who are not having problems to post.

so sorry for what you are going through and I second the suggestion for seeing a counsellor/therapist.
However, I would not call you a lapband unsuccess story. I am sure (trying to be encouraging) that you were a success story until you were dealt such a massive emotional blow, and I am sure you can be again with the right support.
Good luck.

You can build core strength but it's not actually possible to spot tone a part of your body. I do believe that exercise in general will help in the battle against loose skin but I also take the attitude that loose skin won't kill me (and can be fixed) but morbid obesity is a shortcut to the grave.

Two years ago I could barely get on my bicycle let alone ride for more than a couple of kilometres. Now I am riding so far and so often that I decided it was time to be responsible and capable the next time I get a puncture.
So today I spent almost 90 minutes on my knees in the workroom of my local bike shop learning how to change a tyre. I have blisters on my thumbs from pushing the tyre in but my knees DON"T hurt!
And I know that when I set out for a 90+km ride on Friday, it won't matter if I puncture because I can just drop to my knees on the roadside, change my tyre and be on my way.

Congrats Carolina Girl. Keep up the great work.

Good move contacting your dr for advice!
Hope it all settles down for you soon.

I haven't been on here for a little while, but I just bought size 12 jeans. And they're comfortable! Eeeeeeeeeeek! I started at a 24. =)

Well the ER won't do your fills, that I know for sure. I really wouldn't go through with the surgery until you have a doctor at home to treat you after. Otherwise you risk coming back with no post care or way to get fills.
Good follow up care after surgery is crucial to success with the band so it's really important you have a surgeon lined up to treat you.
Good luck. I hope you find someone soon.
