Yes we did the fill under fluro and had my scope 6 months ago. I just need to know how to avoid the pain or help it if I ever have another total unfill again. That was 3 wks ago so I'm fine now, thanks for your reply.

Newbie here, Hi you all. I've had 10 years of pretty much no problems with my band. Had it done in Sweden in 1996. Then I had an over fill 6 months ago and due to waiting to long to have some taken out, I got into some reflux and bulging esophagus. I went in and the doctor completly did an unfill so I could heal. In less than 3 hrs. the pain around my band was really awful. Like laying on the bed and rolling around awful. I called the doctors office and they had never heard of this happening. (I had experinced some pain just like this only much, very much milder do to dehidration a few times on vaction.) So I tried drinking water, tried warm broth ect. Has anybody gone through this? What can be done for the pain? This lasted for the rest of the day and a few hour long strectches for the next two days. O.K. so I get through this and start my fills again and wammo to tight again. I go through the exact same thing another complet unfill, awfull pain etc. We now know where the magic number not to go to, and will go a lot slower this time. But just for sure, if I ever have to do this again, what can I do for that child bearing, gall stone, God awul pain? :help:
