Unfill/fill



Recommended Posts

As anyone had luck with getting totally unfilled and starting over? The dr said no more fills for me but I don't think I'm at restriction. Still have 25 pounds to go. Is it worth making an appointment with my surgeon?

from what i have read on this forum most who have been filled then completely unfilled never reach that same level of restriction again. If you are at max fill then i suggest u look at other methods to shed this 20lbs ... u dont mention how much fill u have or what size band so is it just your doctor who wont fill u any more and another might ?

Something needs to change tho, maybe look at what calories u are eating or how those calories are made up, reduce the carbs maybe increase the Protein etc same with exercise increase it , u are so close to goal dont let this beat u, the solution is out there somehwere u just need to make sure u burning more clories than u are consuming.. a defecit of 500 calories per day will lead to a loss of 1lb per week.. some of us, like i was had to stick to 1000 calories a day and still burn lots of calories to lose the weight u just need to start changing things around till u find something that works. Exercise... maybe do more strength after your cardio that will help burn more calories, good luck with it anayways :) if u think u have a leak in the band maybe go back to your surgeon anyways and get it checked out :)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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!
