    Golf ball in throat feeling

    Hi, I actually was one of the lucky ones that hit their ideal weight. But after that, the weight continued to come off. I was happy as a clam at 112 but when I dropped to 107 and falling fast... I went to a fill doctor and he said I was complicated restricted. The funny thing is that I didn't feel completed restricted. Anyway, I decided to get a complete unfill thinking that I could maintain. That was a joke... As soon as my band was unfilled...I was an eating machine. Needless to say I am back at almost square one...started at 240 so I don't feel quite as bad. I got on the scale this morning and saw 149...sheesh....a long way to go to get back to the closet full of clothes I have. I slept through the discomfort last night. Today I am still really restricted. Had a pb episode over Water when I tried to gulp....was just so darn thirsty. I have managed to hold down about 8 ounces of water drinking at a turtle rate. Since it seems to be getting better...I am reluctant to go back for more unfill. Do you think this swelling could be lasting this long?? Lee
  4. Hi, I was actually banded in 2003 and lost all my weight and decided stupidly to get a total unfill. Well, only took 8 months for me to gain 50 pounds (lots of ice cream). I went back to getting fills the last few months. It must be so long ago and I don't remember...but I am having so much problem holding down liquids. I was filled 3ml on Tuesday and than went back the next day for an unfill of 1.5 ml. At the office, it showed that "some" Water was going through. I have left the office when NO water was going through and been fine. But even today, I am having a hard time drinking water or any liquid. My mouth is dry and I feel constantly thirsty. I mean to just sip but end up gulping down 16 ounces of liquid at a time. I just can't help myself from the thirst. I am actually sitting here typing this with a golf ball type feeling in my throat. I have just cranked about 8 ounces of water at the slowest rate I could. I just have the urge to go and make myself burp up the golf ball feeling in my throat. I have been doing that a lot today. The uncomfortableness gets to me. My question is... Is this normal? Is it just swelling? Should I give it til or past Monday before I go back and ask for more taken out? Will that golf ball feeling go away? Is there anything I should do? I just don't remember my past fills being this uncomfortable or maybe it has been too long. Thank you all in advance for your answers and advice. Lee
