I bet I get an unfill next week, grrr and I'm in the green zone.



Recommended Posts

I have to have a colonoscopy soon, have a consultation June 11th and then I will schedule it, having probs and also looking for cancer since my brother is battling colon cancer right now and the kind of cancer he has is hereditary and I was told to get ck'd out and since I'm having probs well, now is the time. I see my lap band surgeon June 6th and I bet he will want to do an unfill, so not looking forward to that since I'm in a green zone or happy place with my band. Just now got back up to 5.5cc's in my band and feel great from my gallbladder surgery and big unfill back in December.

I'm sorry to hear this! I spent the night in er due to Gb pain so I can relate to that you seem to be very successful! Mind over matter until u get filled again. Just keep doing everything the same as if u were filled. U got this. Good luck girl;)

Maybe not, best wishes tho'. I am not sure that having a colonoscopy will warrant a unfill. Make sure that you ask at your apt next week. I am glad to see that you are at green now! Karen

I don't see why they'd unfill you for a colonoscopy. It has nothing to do with your stomach and it's a very minor procedure. Heck, I didn't even have mine unfilled for gallbladder removal or a tummy tuck/hernia repair/skin removal.

Remember Health first. With your success you can get back on track after you are sure your health is good!!! Good Luck

I have had gallbladder surgery and an egd with no unfill. I didn't have a whole lot in my band at the time though.

You should be fine with the fill in. Colonoscopy does not go that far! LOL!

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
