Getting an unfill Monday and nervous



Recommended Posts

I have a 10CC band with 8.3cc's and I'm really having a hard time eating anything. I think I'm overfilled as it is but couple that with being 9 wks pregnant and I'm pretty miserable.

So here is the problem. I'm already thinking about and getting excited about all the wonderful foods I can eat when I unfilled. I'm so affraid of gaining. The plan was to have 4.3cc's removed. I don't remember feeling any difference between completely unfilled and 4cc's. Anything over that, it was painful to eat. After reading a lot of posts on here I see a lot of women get a total unfill. Now I don't know which to do. Total unfill or leave in 4 cc's. I do not want to have multiple unfills. I live 2 hrs from my doctor and can't really afford to keep going back.

Advice?

you should get a total unfill, You dont want a huge needle being poked around in your belly blindly because preggy chicks cant get flouro, god forbid if you have complications and need an unfill when you are further along in your pregnancy. Better to be safe than sorry my 2 cents.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
