I think I need an unfill help please



Recommended Posts

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.

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! Joan

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.

Yikes!! My band ended up so tight from allergies, seasonal. Maybe yours did too? All the post nasal drip can plug things up, lol! 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!

      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.
