Oh, what a relief it is.......(Unfill Chronical)

vluckey · March 11, 2006

Okay....I've been pondering an unfill for about a month now. I knew almost immediately that I was too tight. But I figured that it would eventually work itself out. It was only my second fill, so I hadn't much experience of what this band would do.

So, I used to read posts about people who would have an unfill after a month or 2 of sufferring and think, what is wrong with these people that they would wait that long???? Now I know. You can put up with a lot when you see 2-4 pounds coming off a week.

So, on Friday I had enough. I was able to eat less and less. More foods were becoming unbearable and I was sick of chili, (which is a staple food for me. Homemade with Turkey). It almosts seems like my stomach was swelling and not going down. So I called and my wonderful Dr. Curry (Cincinnati) squeezed me in even though it was a half day for them and they are short staffed. (Love him). I got .5 ml out which leaves me with only about 1 ml in. (I think those numbers are right)

The reason I posted this is because if I would have read this post 3 weeks ago I would have unfilled 3 weeks ago. I'm hoping to help those in the same position and perhaps keep people from hurting their band.

Happy eating!

Hello Ms Luckey, glad to hear you're feeling much better now. Aren't we humans a fickle bunch? I went almost an entire year with a stomach hernia, thinking I probably had stomach cancer or something, refusing to go to the Dr. Ner. And that hurt! Just think what I'd do for 2-4 pounds a week! LOL
