Going to the Dr. tomorrow for a slight un-fill



Recommended Posts

I am going to see my Dr. tomorrow, to take a little bit out, I think I'm to tight !

I keep Bubbling, and spitting up Flem. Sinus is also plugging me up I think !

Anyway,,, Whatever it is,,, I think a slight un-fill will correct the problem.

Because I have no appetite, and can barely swallow saliva, so,, I will do what I

think is right...

i also went through that. I got my 4th fill in june. went a full month vomiting and fighting to comsume 500 calories a day. It's dangerous to be too tight and not get an unfill. You can slip. i know it sucks... now, since i got my unfill ( a full cc) 3 weeks ago, i feel i can eat the whole world. i dont get full and i could down 2 burgers if i wanted to. Hitting that sweet spot takes time! im going back thursday for a lil more. hopefully this will be the spot :) good luck with your journey and remeber we are all here for support! xoxo

They took out 3/4 of a cc, and what a relief. I told her last time ONLY.1CC to go in. She put in .1 and a quarter. That was to much, and she new she messed up.

So it's a step back for a little while, then I'll go back again for a slight tweaking "IF NEEDED."

Yoli76: you should call your Dr. and go in. Throwing up can cause slippage. Not to mention I know how you feel, and it's not very well ! ! !

So do yourself a favor, make that call, and don't suffer...

I dropped 4lbs. that was the good part.

I only have a 4cc Band. I'm sure yours is bigger.

You can always have it done under Fluoroscope, and they

can take you to your fill line.

It's that easy.

But first you have to see if your Doctor wants to do it that way,

or will he have you keep coming in for the fill after fill process.

That's up to him ! But just so you know, there is another method.

Fluoroscopy is painless, and it's like a big x ray machine, that can

be used for the band.

They see your band, and so do you, then they start the fill process,

and take it to your fill line. Down the road you might need a little fill,

but basically that's it.

I know I prefer it.

      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.
