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

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
