I'm posting this in the hopes that someone can help me with my mother. She has had the band for 3 years. She initially lost 65 pounds. Since my father passed away, 2-1/2 years ago, she has let herself eat anything she wants. She is to the point now where I'm afraid she's becoming bulemic. She'll eat some food, go to the bathroom and throw up, then come back and finish her meal. She also eats foods she knows she's not supposed to - lots of breads, rice, etc. At night, she has been coughing horribly and doesn't feel well at all lately. She has been checked out by her regular internist and is fine. Do you think she needs to have the band removed completely since she is not abiding by the rules, or should she just have the fill reduced? Thanks for any input. ~Nancy
