Had to get an unfill today!



Recommended Posts

Omg, I got some beef and green Beans today for lunch, took two bites and it got so ingredibly stuck I slimmed and threw up for an hour straight.

Went into the doctors and she decided to take little bit out. I get to go back in two weeks and get it put back though.

The doc also ordered a ct scan for my port area. Ive been having a little bit of pain there for a little over a week, so hes just going to check in it.

wish me luck on maintaining for the next couple of weeks. ;)

I'm so sorry! So you're not entirely empty? My P.A. would always go all or nothing. I'm not going to go with her anymore though because I'm really wanting to do things under fluro since I've had so many fills and unfills with her. I hate the guessing game and it's expensive too! Do you do your fills under fluroscopy? Have you had troubles with your port area in the past? What do you think is causing it? Can it get infected or just scar tissue? Sheesh, you've had a rough week!

I dont do fluro. I wonder how much extra they are to do. If she keeps empting you, and having to start over each time. yuck! My pa only took out .50, just to loosen it up in case it was swollen.

I dont know whats going on with my port! It is always kinda sore during my period, but now its pretty constant soreness. Im wondering if it not just caused by my waistbands or a belt. Its right next to my belly button.

Not a dumb question. Who knows if I even have it spelled correctly! It's fluoroscopy, which is when you swallow the barium drink and it shows up under x-ray. It's pretty neat watching it going down your esaphagus and ending in your stomache.

ok I had that prior to my surgery but if I'm reading correctly people are getting that when they get a fill that's the part that's confusing me.. I've had 3 fill I'm at 8cc I believe but curious how the other procedure works with that. I'm guessing you can see how much flows through..I know I'm tight but not to the point I'm miserable. I have had several stuck episodes you'd think I'd learn, and seemed to be tighter in the early morning.

I've never had a fill with it before. I had it done for the first time and we could see that my pouch was swollen so he did an unfill. My surgeon is in Mexico and go locally to a p.a. who does not offer it. I recently went back to my surgeon in Mexico and had it done. I think it really helps to get to that magical fill place because you can see the liquid going down and see if it is stopping along the way. If it is, for too long, then it's too tight.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
