Dumb unfill / Fill too much



Recommended Posts

Ok so in Feb I had and unfill because I was starving. I gained 30lbs back. Then 6 weeks ago I had a big fill i lost 27 lbs in 6 weeks! BUT I have not had solid food in all that time can barely swallow Water in the morning and I live on Soup. Im afraid to get an unfil for fear of gaining...what do you think??

Well how much did you get an unfill the first time and how much did you get put in. Do you know your band size? Cuz if you some people on here may be able to help you out on how much you should have in your band

If you can barely swallow Water in the morning and you are living on soup, you are way too tight. Go get a small unfill. You may only need to get .5 taken out to get relief and be able to eat a little food again.

I agree, you are way too tight. That is no way to live. If you got 1cc fill then ask for .25 or .5 unfill. My last unfill was too much (1.125) and I have gained 5 pounds over the holidays. I wish I had only gotten .5, but it is too late to moan....can't get an appt til 1/14 so I will have to try on my own and then make up for lost time. I did enjoy all the Holiday meals with family with no PB or sliming!!!

Best wishes,

Mimi

I had an unfill back in September .... just .2cc .... and I went from getting stuck/PBing at least once every meal to being able to eat comfortably. So be specific with the doc. Ask for a very small unfill of say .2cc or so and take something with you to EAT rather than just swallow some Water. Waterl first; if it goes down pretty well, then try something like a little cheese. Then, and only, then would I consider either more of an unfill or leaving happy.
