OUCH! Fill and unfill still not ok



Recommended Posts

HI, I am 5 months post op and have had NO problems with my band thus far but my weight loss has pretty much stopped so when I went for my Dr. appointment they gave me another fill (4th all together) They put in 1.5 cc so I had a total of 6 cc in. I couldn't even keep a sip of Water down. I went back and got an unfill of .75. Immediatley felt better. This was yesterday. Today I can swallow water very slowly I tried to eat some steamed shrimp, chewed almost to liquid. But after 2 shrimps I got this pain in my chest . It's right underneth my left breast and can feel it all the way through my back. In fact it hurts worse in my back then in the front now. I can deal with the limited amount of food I can eat but the pain is not something I want to feel every meal. HAs anyone else gone through this? What do you think I should do? Thanks so much.

I had an unfill after my port reposition became infected and my stomach closed up.. I haven't had a single solid meal yet without that pain!.. even chewing really well.. I give up most meals and go for a shake.. I am hoping it is because I am still slightly swollen,.. the back pain is agony isn't it!.. I usually throw up when that happens.. (daily!).. it has been nearly three weeks since my unfill. My infection has gone.. but still can't get most solids down..

didn't even think about gallbladder!!!!!!!!.. heck..don't need that now!

I hope you feel better soon.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
