i posted this in the main forum i am posting again here
i had my surgery 22nd of february ..
16cc band
lost 9 kgs in the first month ..
had first fill 4cc end f march
second fill 2cc end of april ..
since then i lost 9 more kilos ..
so 18 kgs (39 lbs) in 4 months
i went to have my third fill as i lost alot of abdominal fat and i feel i can eat more ..was partially restricted too
2 weeks ago i felt little tension in my port site ..wasnt a big deal
went today so the dr wanted to make sure there is no leak .. and wanted to unfill . the whole cc in the band then fill it again ..
but he couldnt get in .. after trying .. he found out it was partially flipped .. i read this happens in some people after losing abdominal fat
so he could reach it if i sleep on my right side and ..removed all 6 cc
then started filling again .. i choked .. and vomited even Water afterward
he had to remove 2cc so now i have only 4cc in the band and i feel water while passing ..on Fluid diet right now
how come i cant withstand the same 6 cc that were previously in the band??? what changed after the unfill !!
then now will 4 cc be enough
and afterwards .. do i have to go to a surgery for the flip thing??
i am having barium meal after tomorooow .. and he wants to check the placement of the band
i hope someone help me
i am really distressed
