Any Suggestions for Help?



Recommended Posts

2 weeks ago I had a fill which ended up being a big overfill. I couldn't swallow, my throat closed up on me, I would burp up huge amounts of acid at night so I couldn't even sleep. It was a pretty scary thing. When I went back to the doctor he told me what I already knew. I needed an unfill. I begged him to only take out a little bit but he said that I needed to heal and was going to take out half of my fill. So now I only have 3 cc's in a 10 cc band. At first this wasn't a problem. But as I started to feel better I also started to get really hungry too. I'm afraid I will stretch out my pouch that I have worked so hard to keep tiny. I am not due to go back to get more of a fill until March 4. Does anybody have any helpful hints as to what to do so I don't overeat and stretch my pouch? I have gained several pounds and freaked out about that, too.How do you deal with an unfill? Thanks to anyone who can help. Pam

I'm glad you're feeling better, Pam. I really thing the most important thing to do is to measure your food. I can't say how much you should eat, but personally, without restriction, I would still try to keep my meals under a cup. Some people eat as much as a cup and a half, but I wouldn't try it myself. Good luck!!

      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!
