I think I need an unfill help please



Recommended Posts

They had me drink but I didn't feel really tight until about an hour after my fill.

Today he removed .2 cc's and I feel so much better! I can drink cold stuff with no pain and eat mushies. Before he did the unfill I was hurting and had lots of foamy stuff coming up. Now it's all gone. I do still have some reflux but I'm hoping that will get better also.

So glad you got a deflate! I was too tight and had 2 deflates. I was told the the swelling form vomiting made the band area much tighter and I had to have a deflate to heal. My doctor has someone on call 24/7 for deflates because being too tight is an emergency. I think it was negligent of your doctor's practice to make you wait days for a deflate. You could have ended up dehydrated at best and with a slipped band at worse.

I was told when I feel too tight to sip warm beverages or pineapple juice to help clear away any mucous in the band area. My band issue was a result of severe seasonl allergies.

Hang in there! Joan

It would be awesome if my doc had someone on call like that. My weekend was miserable. I was so sore and uncomfortable and on top of that I was sneezing my head off and our darn lights went out for 13 hours on Saturday after a storm so I was burning up, sneezing my head off and my chest was hurting so badly from the throwing up. It was just a sucky weekend.

Yikes!! My band ended up so tight from allergies, seasonal. Maybe yours did too? All the post nasal drip can plug things up, lol! I was on 3 different allergy meds per day and was still having terrible allergies. I think next spring I'll see if I can get a small deflate before my allergies kick in!

      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.

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
