Time for an Unfill



Recommended Posts

I had my fourth fill a week and a half ago and could definitely tell the difference. There were times when food was going down and times when it wasn't. I figured that my stomach was still swollen from the fill so I decided to give it a little time. Now almost two weeks later, I can tell I'm just too full. I don't want to keep wondering whether food (even liquid) is going to go down or not. So I have an appointment for an unfill this Wednesday. Only problem since I'm self-pay and waited a week and a half I'll have to pay $100-165 for it. :o( At least I'm getting it done though and hoping it will help and that nothing has slipped. I'm going on vacation next week and want to be able to enjoy myself! I guess just realizing it's good to listen to your body right away...

I have gone through the same exact thing. I hesitated to get an ufill because I didn't want to be hungry, didn't want to pay and didn't want to drive the hour to the dr. I suffered needlessly. Each time I eventually went in for an unfill I was much better. A small unfill will probably be good. Try to give your doc. as much information on what's been going on as you can. This will help determine how much to take out.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
