spoiltmom 44 Posted May 24, 2011 They had me drink but I didn't feel really tight until about an hour after my fill. Today he removed .2 cc's and I feel so much better! I can drink cold stuff with no pain and eat mushies. Before he did the unfill I was hurting and had lots of foamy stuff coming up. Now it's all gone. I do still have some reflux but I'm hoping that will get better also. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
size10again 11 Posted May 24, 2011 So glad you got a deflate! I was too tight and had 2 deflates. I was told the the swelling form vomiting made the band area much tighter and I had to have a deflate to heal. My doctor has someone on call 24/7 for deflates because being too tight is an emergency. I think it was negligent of your doctor's practice to make you wait days for a deflate. You could have ended up dehydrated at best and with a slipped band at worse. I was told when I feel too tight to sip warm beverages or pineapple juice to help clear away any mucous in the band area. My band issue was a result of severe seasonl allergies. Hang in there!

spoiltmom 44 Posted May 24, 2011 It would be awesome if my doc had someone on call like that. My weekend was miserable. I was so sore and uncomfortable and on top of that I was sneezing my head off and our darn lights went out for 13 hours on Saturday after a storm so I was burning up, sneezing my head off and my chest was hurting so badly from the throwing up. It was just a sucky weekend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was on 3 different allergy meds per day and was still having terrible allergies. I think next spring I'll see if I can get a small deflate before my allergies kick in!
