Well, I did it. I decided I couldn't keep living like this. I went to my bariatric doc and they did a barium swallow and saw that my band had "tilted" whatever THAT means. I don't know if that is a fancy word for slipped or not. Anyway, they said I HAD to have a complete unfill! Of course, I was upset because I'm thinking $150 for each re-fill!!! But it had to be done. I immediately felt SO MUCH BETTER! I don't have ANY GERD---which was keeping me up at night---AND I can eat anything---which I was not able to---without getting stuck. I am being good and not over eating, but I must admit, I did eat a chili-cheese hotdog for dinner on day 2!!! It tasted SO wonderful!!! And so far nothing has gotten stuck! I haven't eaten soup since!!! Yea! I am going to do my best to not gain, and am supposed to go back to the doc in a month. I'm really not taking advantage, but am excited to be able to actually eat healthy like I'm supposed to on the band! I went to a buffet with the family for fathers day and ate a lot of salad, and actually ate meat! whoo-hoo! Life is good. Unfills are good! I must admit, I AM hungrier than usual, but I definitely needed an unfill and recommend it for any who are having severe GERD and food sticking problems.
