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.

      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?
