Does anyone do periodic band resets minus the unfill?



Recommended Posts

I have recent heard about band or pouch resets. I had to unfill my band because the dr saw a little food pouch forming above my band. I was at 4cc and had all the Fluid removed for 2 weeks. I remained the n liquids for 9 days then did mushy foods. When. I went back for the esophogram it had healed and gone back into place. I go back in 2 weeks to begin filling the band. But while I was on this site I read 1 person had done periodic band rests. He would go back on liquids for 3 days then do mushy foods 2 days. He said it would help his throat and band rests and he wouldn't feel as if food was storing where it shouldn't be.

my question is does anyone else do t his, how often and does it really work if you still have fluid in your band. Please let me know. I'm considering trying this. I know I should also ask my dr when I see him, but I figure I should ask my fellow banders.

thanks

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
