Lap band Pregnancy - to unfill or not

I have 3cc in my band. My meals are still small but a bit larger than they were at sweet spot. My appetite in general is much less than it ever has been. IMO the dreaded unfill is only as bad as you make it. It's all in your head (again, IMO). If you've come this far I'm sure you've already conquered head hunger, emotional eating, etc. Those are the things that make an unfill impossible to deal with.... the things that contributed or made us fat to begin with. I eat when I'm hungry (three meals a day), stop when I'm satisfied (not full, I could probably eat a lot more than I do but I DON'T), and don't graze. Stick to the band rules and you'll be fine.

Not all surgeons require a complete unfill. My nausea was super bad in the beginning so I really needed one. It hasn't been so bad. I haven't gained anything yet (well, I haven't gotten on the scale since a few days before Christmas... so that may no longer be true).
