This is just a quick update on my unfill. I made a post a few nights ago stating that my band was to tight and I had to go in for a slight unfill.
I was put under the fluro and had a drink some of that delicious liquid barium. It showed the barium going down and right when it hit the part where my band is, it shot right back up, not in one but two different parts with a small band like thingy holding the parts together. He knew right them, my band was way to tight.
He took out 3cc and had me doing the liquid barium swallowing test again and it went through just fine. I believe I now only have about 3 or 4cc in my band at the moment. I have an appointment for August 18 to start filling it up again. This time, if I feel it is to tight, I will go back instead of waiting for 3 months. He explained that if I had come in sooner, I would not have had to have so much removed, but since I waited so long, my stomach was really irritated and needed some time to heal up.
So, just like with a fill, I am now on a 24 hour liquid diet followed by a 24 hour mushy diet, then it's back to regular food. Meanwhile, I am not all that hungry, but my mind is playing tricks on me because my family is in the kitchen eating tacos so I have decided to come to the back of the house and put a little distance between that wonderful smell and myself.
