Unfill Question



Recommended Posts

I am going tomorrow for a slight unfill. Do you follow the liquid diet for unfills as well? Thanks!!

well my doc doesnt advocate the liquid diet after fills, he just says to be careful, so no, I didnt do a liquid diet at all after my recent .2ml unfill.

But I found it to be like a fill. Small immediate effect,then about a week later, I noticed how much easier it was to eat, how much hungrier I was and how many more really healthy foods (as opposed to sliders) I could eat. None of which led to weight gain thank goodness.

I dont know why I got so tight, one of those things I guess. PMT, plane flight etc all happening round the same time.

Thank you for responding Jack and Jacqui. I went for an unfill this morning and he took out 1cc. Ugh! It was odd because he said I only had 5cc total in my band and I was told 6cc after my last unfill. But when he took out the .5 I still struggled with Water going down so slow. So I feel like I'm back at the beginning again. I'm going to take it easy for a few weeks and see what happens. My doctor's partner advised me to remain on fluids the rest of the day and softer foods the rest of the week since I had so much trouble getting food down. But thank you again for both of your inputs. I always enjoy reading your posts because I get a lot of insight from them.

      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.

      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!
