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.

      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.

        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!
