Okay....I've been pondering an unfill for about a month now. I knew almost immediately that I was too tight. But I figured that it would eventually work itself out. It was only my second fill, so I hadn't much experience of what this band would do.
So, I used to read posts about people who would have an unfill after a month or 2 of sufferring and think, what is wrong with these people that they would wait that long???? Now I know. You can put up with a lot when you see 2-4 pounds coming off a week.
So, on Friday I had enough. I was able to eat less and less. More foods were becoming unbearable and I was sick of chili, (which is a staple food for me. Homemade with Turkey). It almosts seems like my stomach was swelling and not going down. So I called and my wonderful Dr. Curry (Cincinnati) squeezed me in even though it was a half day for them and they are short staffed. (Love him). I got .5 ml out which leaves me with only about 1 ml in. (I think those numbers are right)
The reason I posted this is because if I would have read this post 3 weeks ago I would have unfilled 3 weeks ago. I'm hoping to help those in the same position and perhaps keep people from hurting their band.
Happy eating!
