regurgitating a lot

[Lisa38 0]

I have 4.2 in my band and a lot of food comes back up. Could I be eating too fast?

Yes. And too much, too big and not chewing enough.

You need to fill out your profile so we can better help you.

When was your surgery?

Keep in mind the amount in your band is completely irrelevant. 4.2 may be nothing to one person and too much for another.

My first thought is like TMF, you're likely eating too much, too big, and not chewing enough. However if that isn't the case then you may need a slight unfill.

Best wishes.

Yes what the other two posters said, I've had it happen to me with some fills and I've had to relearn how to eat even slower and smaller bites.

Why do we need fills? What is the purpose?

IMO, the purpose of getting a fill is to CHANGE, and ALTER the way we eat, what we eat, and most importantly how much we eat.....

It can be very difficult to find that perfect balance.....

All too often I hear about people who at the first time getting stuck, etc, they run back to the Dr. to get a un-fill because they are out of their comfort zone....when in fact it can very well be what/how they are eating.....

The same people who get that un-fill are many of the same who are asking for a fill a few weeks later....and complain they are always hungry, and the band is not working....

In order for the band to do it's magic, WE ave to change...we cannot continue to be what we used to be....THAT is what got us fat in the first place and THAT has to go away.....

I know a person who has had 12-13 fills, and about 6 un-fills.....she just does not get it...she cannot accept the fact that she must change and that she cannot continue doing what she did before getting banded.....

Very helpful words! I need to retrain myself how to eat.
