Unfilled and now even tighter than before

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?

you could be swollen from the unfill?

I had the exact same problem, I went in for x-rays and they discovered my pouch had stretched so now I'm going in for my band to be repositioned! You should ask them whether this could be the case with yours??

Hope everything goes ok!!
