Yes I know exactly how you feel. I just had a complete unfill 2 days ago.(5cc) I had a virus and was very sick as well with heavy coughing and a lot of throwing up. Which got me very swollen. I have been banded now for almost 2 years and have been very successful with my band,so this is very scary for me since I can eat a lot more than usual. However I am doing GREAT. Good luck and hang in there.

This same thing happened to me last week. I got to the point where water or food was no longer going down. So yesterday I had to have a complete unfill.Dr said I was very swollen from all of the throwing up that I was doing. I have been banded for almost 2 years in June so it was pretty scary at 1st but today I have done well. Just watching portion sizes and counting down the days until I get my fluid put back in. Good luck!

I am going to up the exercise.

Thanks Mimi great advice!!! and you are so right about the band working the way it should. I feel GREAT today and doing well.I can do it with Easter dinner and all

Thank you so much. I do plan to stay focussed.

YIKES!! I had to have an complete unfill today I have been banded for almost 2yrs in June and I have lost almost 120lbs. But over the last week I had a very bad cold and lots of mucus. My band got really tight and I did a lot of throwing up and could not get anything down. So now I have to wait a few weeks to get a fill put back in. I am so scared!! I don't want to gain a lot of weight back. Other than that I LOVE my BAND

Hello I have been banded now for almost 1 year and a half now and I know exactly how you feel. I have had this happen to me more than once. It happened last month where before the fill I could eat a lot more and was getting really hungry between meals. So I went in for a little bit of a fill and within a week I went back in to have it taking out. I am now back where I was before the fill but still losing even though I feel as if I'm eating more. So I'm going to stay where I am for a while longer. Good luck and hang in there :smile2:

Congrats! :smile:

You are so right! I thought the same thing when I got off of the scale. I am not upset one bit! I love the new me:) Much success to you.

Thank you very much!
