Went for an Unfill- Reflux



Recommended Posts

I was on the fence about this- not able to eat much this past week and a half but not really hungry (not true hunger anyway) and losing fine. However last night and today put me over- I guess all the reflux finally got to me because my throat hurt as well as the back of my tongue- and all day just one spoon of food felt so yucky. So I went to an appointment I has set up (thanks for the great advice fellow bandsters) and he took out 1/2 of the the 2cc fill I had gotten. OMG it is awesome! I didn't even realize how dehydrated I was even though my lips were all wrinkly looking. I drank so much (not at once of course) since the unfill- still drinking now.... I think I am too loose now but am going to leave it be until I get back from Disney. Gonna ask my doc to be slow on the fills because my sweet spot is somewhere between 8 and 9cc... how exciting to almost be there :)

I had an unfill for the same reason. Now I am getting hungry again, which I am not happy about. The reflux started about 3 weeks after the last fill and as soon a s I mentioned it they were pulling out the 1/2 cc they had put in in August.

Glad you are feeling better. I think it's smart to wait until your back from Disney to think about a fill. Have a great time, I love it there.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
