Had to have an emergency unfill.....



Recommended Posts

I ate raw baby carrots for Breakfast yesterday and .... lets just say that wasn't tooooo smart :) I chewed well..but I got stuck..but nothing would come up for hours. I couldn't eat all day or night. Not even pudding would go down.

Today I am fine..but ate soft foods just incase it is irritated in there.

Hope everyone has a good week.

Thank goodness neither one of you had a slip! Sorry you had to go through that with your doc, Brenda. I just can't comprehend how some people can have such rude personalities & still have a business. Good for you for getting a new doc! Take care of yourself!

Ok my heart just dropped, your doctor told you to never eat cornbread again!!!!!! My mind is already turning, I am sure that in the two years you have had your band you have eaten corn bread before, oh please tell me I am right. :faint:

I thought that was one of the beauties of the band, there was no food that was a no-no!!

I am hoping this was just part of him being the jerk he is and cornbread in a bowl of Beans can we our friends.

UGHHHHHHHH I think I need to have some now before my second fill and restriction sets in!

Tammy, Yes, I had ate cornbread and Beans several times since my surgery 2 years ago, it just got stuck this time. I guess I am too scared to try it again though after my incident. The more fill you have and the tighter your band is, you gotta be more careful ie., things that might have been no problem in the beginning might now get stuck, with the hole smaller it passes through with more fills. That is just what the nurse told me yesterday when we talked. Here are a list of foods I could not tolerate when I had 6 cc in my 10 cc band: white bread, pastas, rice, cheetos, mac and cheese. So I just swore off eating them once I had trouble once with them. Everone is different though....it might not even effect you that way at all. Good luck

Brenda- Not only do you deserve better, you demand better! Shame on that doctor. I know you are doing fine now but another fill dr. would be my suggestion. Thanks for sharing with us. Flashover

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
