Hi everyone, so I had an unfill last Thursday because I could barely keep anything down that i was eatkng. Now i realize I might not jave been used to having to chew and take small bites. Well anyways, they took out 1/4 cc. Now I feel like I have zero restriction and have gained two pounds. I have an app this Monday for a fill and I'm trying to decide if I should get The 1/4cc put back in. Any thoughts?

I think you should leave that decision up to your surgeon.

If you had to have .25cc removed then getting that same amount put back in would likely be a mistake. If you have another fill, I would try a smaller amount, like even .1cc

The green zone is a tiptoe in my band. Chewing and slow eating is necessary when I feel I am in the green zone. Also drinking within an hour or less of eating for me is a problem . Slow and steady. Your Dr. will be the best to help you find what works.

When I had my first unfill she took out .4 which was the amount of my previous fill. I went back 2 weeks later and she gave me .25 and was fine after that.

Talk with your doc and decide together what is right.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
