Eating too much after unfill

I have had two unfills and I am eating twice as much as I did before the surgery. My doctor says my band may have slipped so she took out 6cc. is it possible that all of my Fluid is out? Why am I eating so much? I am due to take a swallow study tommorrow. Even though I am eating now and can hold fluids and food down I still feel nauseated Is it possible that I will need it put back into place? Has this happend to anyone else?

You're eating a lot because you're not restricting your portions. Most surgeons recommend no more than one cup of food per meal- and it's up to you to restrict your portions not the band. It's not the band's job to stop you from eating. It's job is to keep you satisfied on less food for longer periods of time. Fill or unfill, it will always be your job to control your portions because while some foods may be more difficult to eat there will always be foods you can eat too much of and easily.

Here's a link I think may help you: http://drsimpson.net/fills/Lap-band-eating/lap-band-not-restriction/lap-band-and-restriction.html

Being as you're dealing with a possible slip, it's especially important you don't over eat and potentionally make the problem worse. Sometimes an unfill allows a slipped band to fall back into place and sticking to band sized portions is very important if that is to have a chance of working.

Best wishes.
