Constantly hungry after being sick... HELP :(

I was banded in 2009 and I've never had an issue like I'm having now. I had food poisoning a few days ago and I threw up few times. It is now day three of recovery and I am constantly hungry and have abdominal hunger pains, even after I eat something. It is like this all day long and nothing is making me feel better. I was thinking my band slipped, but it doesn't seem to be the symptoms of a slipped band or at least anything I've seem online. Has anyone else experience anything like this?

Thanks for any help!

I don't know but when I am sick I seem to be more hungry and this goes against the common population. The last time I was sick with a cold (A little different than you) but I had a huge appetite. I just broke my meals up into 5 smaller ones...so it seemed that I was able to eat more often. If I did give in and snack I would have low calorie snack available...like one of my favorites is freezing fat free pudding...tastes like a pudding pop...so yummy.

As for a slip. From what I hear there are a lot of symptoms that come along with a slipped band.

Here are just a couple links describing the symptoms of a slipped band. It seems reflux, not being able to tolerate food, pain and pressure all seem to be a reoccurring theme. But as anyone here will tell you if you ever have any worries just make a call to your doctor's office. That is what they are there for.
