Been 2 years and been up and down but still goin!! :thumbup:

That is because , after a fill your stoma is irritated and it needs time to heal.

I think I should do some research and find all of that out. I have always just trusted and I need to look into it .Ty I will get back to you!

Ok so in Feb I had and unfill because I was starving. I gained 30lbs back. Then 6 weeks ago I had a big fill i lost 27 lbs in 6 weeks! BUT I have not had solid food in all that time can barely swallow water in the morning and I live on soup. Im afraid to get an unfil for fear of gaining...what do you think??

I realized that no matter what , I couldn't eat in the morning. So I made the hard decision to have my band unfilled and do it on my own for a while. Has anyone done this and how was your results?

It is FREEZING!!! LOL but has been for months the coldest winter in a while.

Ok, I did Pb Thats how I realized such restriction( weird since its been over 2 months since my fill) I dont have a "time of the month" anymore (had a hysterectomy in Nov) Stress? well I have 4 kids but that hasnt changed LOL...No flying , havent been sick, cant think of anything else. Just so very odd to me.Thank you for trying :hurray: Just frustrated.Thinking of getting and unfill.

So I had my fill 2 months ago and was perfect! Thought I hit my sweet spot. My loss has been slow because I have a chocolate addiction LOL but steady. Can somebody help with why the sudden restriction?

Would like to speak to anyone who has used Dr. Tventenstrand in Johnson city NY?

Im from Afton (near Binghamton) Good to meet you! Congrats on your decision.

Absolutely! you can do anything . You will have restriction thats all just start with liquids the warmer the better because you are so nervouse you will be tighter. Hope I could help! GOOD LUCK

Thank you so much Jack!Went and had a tiny bit taken out and instant relief!

I had my 2nd fill on monday and I still almost a week later can only drink warm liquids. Evenings I can sip water but not in the morning at all! I have chest pain everytime I try to eat anything even cream of wheat and I throw it all up no matter what it is. But I am not sliming just pbing. Any help???

Hello! yes to your question. I actually used CDPHP which is another one that comes from the same place. All you have to do is look in your provider book that you get from medicaid or call and ask for one. It will give you a list of who you can call. Hope this helps.

Not at all! No problem in fact as you get smaller you will like ALL of the things you will be able to perform better.:Banane53:

I know right away if im going to slime and pb because my jaw aches like crazy! Does this happen to anyone else?

I had the exact same issue! Couldnt even drink water in the morning. What i did was drink hot tea and ate soups and it took about a week and 1/2 before I could eat solids after my first fill. And once i realized that i wasnt drinking enough water that cleared up a lot.

Before to after hoipefully the right size
