Time for an Unfill



Recommended Posts

I had my fourth fill a week and a half ago and could definitely tell the difference. There were times when food was going down and times when it wasn't. I figured that my stomach was still swollen from the fill so I decided to give it a little time. Now almost two weeks later, I can tell I'm just too full. I don't want to keep wondering whether food (even liquid) is going to go down or not. So I have an appointment for an unfill this Wednesday. Only problem since I'm self-pay and waited a week and a half I'll have to pay $100-165 for it. :o( At least I'm getting it done though and hoping it will help and that nothing has slipped. I'm going on vacation next week and want to be able to enjoy myself! I guess just realizing it's good to listen to your body right away...

I have gone through the same exact thing. I hesitated to get an ufill because I didn't want to be hungry, didn't want to pay and didn't want to drive the hour to the dr. I suffered needlessly. Each time I eventually went in for an unfill I was much better. A small unfill will probably be good. Try to give your doc. as much information on what's been going on as you can. This will help determine how much to take out.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
