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?
