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.

I almost had to have an unfill yesterday, I was stuck for about four hours. It was my first will stuck feeling, I called my Dr. and was told to go to the ER. I decided to try pinapple juice first, it worked great and I called the Dr back and said all was well. I have done liquid since yesterday. So I do have a question for you if you were good at your fourth fill why did you get more? Just curious because I am schedualed for another fill in Aug. Trying to figure out how to decide if I need it or not. Thanks for the info.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
