Had to Have my Band Drained

[jen_ngah 0]

Well....it happened. I just received my third fill on Friday which brought me to 7.25cc in a 14cc band and wouldn't you know Saturday night as I transfered from fluids to mush I couldn't even get down a spoonful of Soup. Tried like heck for 5 hours to try and get it to go down but to no avail had to call the docs and they drained my band. Said I have to rest my band for three weeks and then if all looks well they can start filling it again.

Mortified of the though of ruining all the work I have done and praying that my weightloss won't be affected by the unfortunate set of events.

Try to never get a fill on Thursday or Friday... going to the ER for an adjustment pretty much will always be a complete drain so they won't have to come back to see you again.........next time try to call for a small unfill ASAP to the office in regular hours. Sorry you went through it and I wish you luck not gaining wt during the drain period.

I was at 5cc's and due to a stomach bug had to get a complete unfill this weekend, I think we'll be fine!!! I really haven't felt any hungrier and I didn't eat for 6 solid days with that bug. Keep measuring out your food so as not to overeat and don't snack"just beacuse you know it'll go down" I'm not getting a fill until the 24th. Good luckand be strong let's not mess up how far we've already come!!!
