Had to get an unfill today!



Recommended Posts

Omg, I got some beef and green Beans today for lunch, took two bites and it got so ingredibly stuck I slimmed and threw up for an hour straight.

Went into the doctors and she decided to take little bit out. I get to go back in two weeks and get it put back though.

The doc also ordered a ct scan for my port area. Ive been having a little bit of pain there for a little over a week, so hes just going to check in it.

wish me luck on maintaining for the next couple of weeks. ;)

I'm so sorry! So you're not entirely empty? My P.A. would always go all or nothing. I'm not going to go with her anymore though because I'm really wanting to do things under fluro since I've had so many fills and unfills with her. I hate the guessing game and it's expensive too! Do you do your fills under fluroscopy? Have you had troubles with your port area in the past? What do you think is causing it? Can it get infected or just scar tissue? Sheesh, you've had a rough week!

I dont do fluro. I wonder how much extra they are to do. If she keeps empting you, and having to start over each time. yuck! My pa only took out .50, just to loosen it up in case it was swollen.

I dont know whats going on with my port! It is always kinda sore during my period, but now its pretty constant soreness. Im wondering if it not just caused by my waistbands or a belt. Its right next to my belly button.

Not a dumb question. Who knows if I even have it spelled correctly! It's fluoroscopy, which is when you swallow the barium drink and it shows up under x-ray. It's pretty neat watching it going down your esaphagus and ending in your stomache.

ok I had that prior to my surgery but if I'm reading correctly people are getting that when they get a fill that's the part that's confusing me.. I've had 3 fill I'm at 8cc I believe but curious how the other procedure works with that. I'm guessing you can see how much flows through..I know I'm tight but not to the point I'm miserable. I have had several stuck episodes you'd think I'd learn, and seemed to be tighter in the early morning.

I've never had a fill with it before. I had it done for the first time and we could see that my pouch was swollen so he did an unfill. My surgeon is in Mexico and go locally to a p.a. who does not offer it. I recently went back to my surgeon in Mexico and had it done. I think it really helps to get to that magical fill place because you can see the liquid going down and see if it is stopping along the way. If it is, for too long, then it's too tight.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
