Should I wait to see if I need an unfill?



Recommended Posts

I hope someone of you can give me your opinion. Last Thursday, I had a fill of .3 in my 10 cc band, for a total of 7.3. I was fine until Monday. I had a salad and a few tablespoons of spaghetti sauce. This has made me PB before but I thought it was a one time thing. I started PBing that afternoon and I am still having a problem keeping things down. Everytime I have PB'd before I could feel the inflamation in my esophogus. That is just what I feel now. Do you think I need an unfill? I keep thinking it is due to the inflamation, but it has been 48 hours now. I started taking Nexium last night. That is what I was told to do last time this happened. Has this happened to anyone else? I would appreciate any help on this matter.

Thanks

Jazie

I forgot to say on here that I will be a year out on July 1st. Seems like I could figure this out on my own, but I just can't decide what to do.

I agree, trust your instincts, I kept putting off the unfill for 3 weeks and suffered needlessly. The wt loss wasn't worth the sliming and barfing and PB'ing. 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!
