  1. Went today and got an unfill in hopes of fixing dilation. When I hold my 20 lb daughter now my stomach hurts plus Dr did not say liquids so I ate dinner now stomach is even more sensitive and irritated feeling. Should I have done liquids only? Is it ok to hold daughter? Did I damage my self? Advice to fix dilation

  8. Got a fill praying it works!!!
  9. Why is it liquid only after a fill? As to not upset stomach or does it affect how fill works
  10. I think I stretched my pouch
  11. Yes I go in tomorrow morning. Just want a game plan in mind. I dont know what to do. Been off wagon for years since they said pouch too big
  12. So I was banded in 2007. Was hard to find sweet spot. Finally did. Then got too tight got reflux. Got unfill and was never the same. Now I have my daughter (3mo) and amazing but i've gained every pound back. Fills don't work. I think my pouch is too big up top. I don't want to go under the knife now that I have a little one and I cannot forsee myself doing a sleeve (for fear that I want another baby ad don't know that I would get enough nutrition. Plus I cannot afford to be out of recovery time. Has anyone got band repositioned? Did it work? What was it like? How was recovery?
  13. Garland, TX here Surgery done by Dr. Jayaseelan. He's great!
  14. For me the band was reversable! No cutting and I know 2 people with the sleeve who has had SERIOUS problems with it.
