Had All My Fill Removed....help



Recommended Posts

I was doing so well. I had reached my sweet spot and was great. About 2 months age I got stuck and it just never got better. thwe docter said he thought i was swollen inside so he suggested all the Fluid be removed so that it heals. now that im better i went back to get my fill ( after i gained 10 lbs.) and he put in half of what i had. No restriction at all. I went back a week later and he put in all that i had before. No restriction again. Band did not slip ( had an esophogram)I was wondering if any of you ever had this kind of thing happen to you.

please help

Sorry. I've never heard of anything like this happening. Hope it gets better for you. Thankfully your band didn't prolapse on you.

I don't know what the answer is, but I'm going through the same thing. Got stuck really bad in the beginning of feb, since then I was too tight...finally went for an unfill this past Monday. Can't get a fill again for another 5 weeks. I'm back to zero restriction, sucks!

Hi, yes it has happened to me before by me being almost 2yrs out, I have experienced just about everything LOL! I have had two complete unfills I gained about 7lbs waiting for a fill the 1st time. There was no slippage or anything traumatic but the doctor did say I had something stuck in the band, I had grilled some Salmon and I think it was a little dry. After several small fills I was back on schedule so the sweet spot will be back just be patient and don't worry. Then I had a overfill and due to my *** I had to switch doctors, the new doctors removed all the Fluid. Funny thing though I only had 4.5ccs in my bad but when they started refilling it, I can only tolerate 2.5ccs now I am at my sweet spot again. Don't worry about it you will be back there soon. ;)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
