Hey I am hoping someone can help me with this. I have been banded for 3 years and have gained 12.5 pounds since April 2010, recently I have been having issues with food getting stuck and coming up at almost every meal. I called my doctor yesterday and was told to come in immediately for an unfill. They took out all the liquid in my band (6cc) which i thought would make me feel really loose but the opposite has happened, I feel tighter and am eating less now( 3-4 oz) than before they unfilled me (8-12oz). Has anybody else been through this?

After months of worrying and appealing decisions i've finally gotten approved for surgery and i will be having it on the 3rd of July. I've very nervous as this is all happening very fast for me, but i'm very excited and grateful to have this opportunity.
