It is the restriction that stops you feeling hungry. That is the whole point of the band it restricts what you can eat and holds the food longer so you feel full longer. The 'sweet' zone is when you reach a point when the band stops you eating and you maintain your weight (or lose depending on where you are in your weight loss) and you can eat just the right amount

I also have the bloating problem and my doctor wasn't interested either! Just told me to take charcoal tablets. Which no one seems to sell! If you find any solution please let me know.

i also had surgery for a slipped band on 6 Jan 2012. I had really bad reflux and had 'drowning' episodes at night which gave me constant lung infections and breathlesness. Since surgery i have been so much better. Apart from really bad trapped gas. by the end of the day i am like a balloon round the top of my stomach and feel like i need to stick a pin in. Has anyone else suffered from this?

I had a slipped band but I could still eat and drink. I just had reflux that got worse and worse even after my band was emptied. I had to have surgery. Please get it checked and unfilled because it will only get worse
