2 weeks ago I had a fill which ended up being a big overfill. I couldn't swallow, my throat closed up on me, I would burp up huge amounts of acid at night so I couldn't even sleep. It was a pretty scary thing. When I went back to the doctor he told me what I already knew. I needed an unfill. I begged him to only take out a little bit but he said that I needed to heal and was going to take out half of my fill. So now I only have 3 cc's in a 10 cc band. At first this wasn't a problem. But as I started to feel better I also started to get really hungry too. I'm afraid I will stretch out my pouch that I have worked so hard to keep tiny. I am not due to go back to get more of a fill until March 4. Does anybody have any helpful hints as to what to do so I don't overeat and stretch my pouch? I have gained several pounds and freaked out about that, too.How do you deal with an unfill? Thanks to anyone who can help. Pam
