When you go to get a unfill for being too tight

How much don they usually take out?

I haven't needed an unfill yet, but I think if you tell them exactly how you feel and what you can eat they should know the amount to take out. Good luck!

It depends on the issue you are having. It can be all, 1 cc, etc. Again, it depends.

They told me if I have a prob they will take part of the fill they just entered. I was curious. No big problems thank god just too tight to eat solids. No vomiting everything goes down and stays just uncomfortable

It depends on many factors, not least of which is your dr's policies. Expect to be asked about how much you can eat, whether you can keep drinks down, how long since your last fill, how you felt before that fill, how much that fill was.

I have had 1cc put in, was too tight, then had half of that removed (and she could hear my saliva gurgling through the band as she withdrew it too).

That was more than enough to have removed. I am going back today to have 0.25cc replaced.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
