seppi 0 Posted March 6, 2006 I am having some trouble with reflux/indigestion/or a too full fill. I called the doctors office and they had the doctor call me. He said I can go to the emergency room and wait for several hours (he was in surgery) or I can have a total unfill in the office later in the week. I told him that I don't want to be totally unfilled, he said that he could remove just a little because he wouldn't know how much was there. He said I would then have to make an appointment to have an adjustment. Well, I decided to go in on Thrusday and have the unfilll. The next available appointment for fills isn't until the 23rd of March. (they only do fills 2x/month) I made that appointment. Now here's the problem-How am I going to NOT GAIN!! I am scared that once I am unrestricted all hell will break loose and I will mess this up. I have the band becasue I am unable to stay on a diet. I know the damage that I can do in 2 weeks. Any words or wisdom will be appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alexandra 55 Posted March 6, 2006 Seppi, been there, done that, have the t-shirt. DON'T WORRY!!! Once you get your unfill, just concentrate on how much better you feel. Talk yourself into believing that NOTHING has changed with regard to how much you can eat or want to eat. All that will have changed is your comfort level. Enjoy it!! Two weeks is nothing. You can do anything for two weeks. Good luck with your unfill and DON'T WORRY!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shanna 0 Posted March 7, 2006 I had to do the exact same thing in January. I did gain 2 pounds during the 2 weeks w/o much fill but it came right back off the week I was "refilled". It was hard, but I tried to keep to the same rules and didn't go out to eat, which helped a lot. 2 weeks seems like forever when you're unfilled, but YOU CAN DO IT! Good luck to ya, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
