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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
