Going to the Dr. tomorrow for a slight un-fill



Recommended Posts

I am going to see my Dr. tomorrow, to take a little bit out, I think I'm to tight !

I keep Bubbling, and spitting up Flem. Sinus is also plugging me up I think !

Anyway,,, Whatever it is,,, I think a slight un-fill will correct the problem.

Because I have no appetite, and can barely swallow saliva, so,, I will do what I

think is right...

i also went through that. I got my 4th fill in june. went a full month vomiting and fighting to comsume 500 calories a day. It's dangerous to be too tight and not get an unfill. You can slip. i know it sucks... now, since i got my unfill ( a full cc) 3 weeks ago, i feel i can eat the whole world. i dont get full and i could down 2 burgers if i wanted to. Hitting that sweet spot takes time! im going back thursday for a lil more. hopefully this will be the spot :) good luck with your journey and remeber we are all here for support! xoxo

They took out 3/4 of a cc, and what a relief. I told her last time ONLY.1CC to go in. She put in .1 and a quarter. That was to much, and she new she messed up.

So it's a step back for a little while, then I'll go back again for a slight tweaking "IF NEEDED."

Yoli76: you should call your Dr. and go in. Throwing up can cause slippage. Not to mention I know how you feel, and it's not very well ! ! !

So do yourself a favor, make that call, and don't suffer...

I dropped 4lbs. that was the good part.

I only have a 4cc Band. I'm sure yours is bigger.

You can always have it done under Fluoroscope, and they

can take you to your fill line.

It's that easy.

But first you have to see if your Doctor wants to do it that way,

or will he have you keep coming in for the fill after fill process.

That's up to him ! But just so you know, there is another method.

Fluoroscopy is painless, and it's like a big x ray machine, that can

be used for the band.

They see your band, and so do you, then they start the fill process,

and take it to your fill line. Down the road you might need a little fill,

but basically that's it.

I know I prefer it.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
