It looks like I'm getting an unfill. . .



Recommended Posts

I have no idea how much is in my band. What's weird is my restriction isn't much. But I have been awoken at 2-3 in the morning the past two nights to vomit. This is many many many hours after I last ate, and of course it is the "sliming". YUCK!

I wish I knew how much was in my band. I know I had 4cc to start with, and 4.2cc after the second fill. The lady who did my second fill didn't tell me and she seemed like she was in a hurry so I didn't ask.

Please tell me that I won't be a ravenous animal if they take some out. I just don't want to vomit twice a day anymore.

My doctor doesn't tell me how much he puts in either. He feels that if you know how much fill you have in there, the closer you get to max. the more you might panic. So in a way I guess it's good to keep guessing.

As for the unfill. It sounds like you definately need some taken out. I felt the same way you did about getting some taken out. I thought I was going to start eating everything in site and gain weight back. It didn't happen that way though. I was also having night regurgitation and night coughing. Plus it was painful for food going down most of the time. So I called and had half taken out of what the doc put in for my last fill. He said we will be taking it slow from now on.

The point is that if you don't get an unfill when you are in the redzone, you can start gaining weight back, plus you are also not getting enough nutrients in your system which is also bad for you.

Good luck to you.

I feel your pain, I had in 8+ cc's and had to have a complete unfil about 2 months ago. Since then they have put back almost half of my Fluid, but i still do not have any restriction and yes i'm wanting to eat the house down. For me it is a serious struggle. I had managed to lose 70 albs in one year and now i've gained back 7 lbs. I go next week for another fill, so i'm really hoping they will put back atleast 1 more cc if not a little more. Good luck to you.

May I ask why you had to have a complete unfill? Sorry just curious.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
