My unfill was quite a long time ago... So perhaps my memory of it isn't as clear, but I don't recall having to do anything special afterwards.

i had to get unfilled due to my plastic surgery and as i walked out, i asked if i needed the liquids/mushy progression and she said no. so i went and had 1/2 a sandwich and it was fabulous!! :blush:

That purple font combined with caps is really hard on the eyes. Just as a side note, please consider (a little bit) not typing in all caps, at least. For our eyes' sake. :)

When I had my unfill I was not given any special directions to follow. I drank some Water right afterward to confirm for them that things were going down. Because I needed the unfill, and in my case I needed it because I couldn't pass anything, I think I stuck with liquids for 2 days to give everything time to rest -- but this was my own choice.

I would NEVER get unfilled for a vacation. That's when I need my band the MOST!!!

I KNOW! BUT I AM TIGHT AND OFTEN SPIT UP AND SOME DAYS I CAN EAT AND SOME DAYS I CAN. THATS THE ONLY REASON WHY I WOULD WANT TO GET UNFILLED.:blush:

I'm having the same issue. Since January I've often thought I should get a slight unfill....but then I go thru times I don't think I need to. Then a while later, I think I should get an unfill.....

now I don't think I need to. But watch, in a week or so I'll be thinking it.

I guess I should just go do it!

YES! exactly the way I feel right now, but i've gotten used to it because I've been with this fill for almost two months now! I just didn't want to be on vacation and feeling "un~normal" I guess i can put it. Thanks GraceUtah, I thought I was the only one!

You both realize that you are both WAY too tight if you are "spitting up". And by being too tight you risk slippage, erosion and malnutrition.

I don't know how you can even want to be that tight personally. I know this is an individual journey but I REFUSE to drink any of my calories so if I can't get down food I would starve to death. I think that has been the "secret" to my success. Only EATING good foods and that means being a little looser and using my will power a little more. But that is what worked for me!

WELL THATS WHAT I THOUGHT TOO, BUT WHEN I WENT TO MY LAPBAND DOCTOR, HE SAID EVERYTHING WAS FINE. TO JUST DRINK SOMETHING WARM IN THE MORNINGS AND STAY DRINKING FLUIDS THROUGH OUT THE DAY. NOT WHEN EATING OF COURSE. LIKE TODAY I AM EATING FINE! JUST VERY CAREFULLY AND HAVE NOT EVEN SPIT UP???? THATS WHERE THE CONFUSION IS. AND MOST MORNING I DRINK smoothie KING OR SLIMFAST SO EVEN DRINKING MY CALORIES TASTES GOOD!

      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!
