Had to have an emergency unfill.....

CatherineinWA · April 12, 2006

I ate raw baby carrots for Breakfast yesterday and .... lets just say that wasn't tooooo smart I chewed well..but I got stuck..but nothing would come up for hours. I couldn't eat all day or night. Not even pudding would go down.

Today I am fine..but ate soft foods just incase it is irritated in there.

Hope everyone has a good week.

Thank goodness neither one of you had a slip! Sorry you had to go through that with your doc, Brenda. I just can't comprehend how some people can have such rude personalities & still have a business. Good for you for getting a new doc! Take care of yourself!

Ok my heart just dropped, your doctor told you to never eat cornbread again!!!!!! My mind is already turning, I am sure that in the two years you have had your band you have eaten corn bread before, oh please tell me I am right. :faint:

I thought that was one of the beauties of the band, there was no food that was a no-no!!

I am hoping this was just part of him being the jerk he is and cornbread in a bowl of Beans can we our friends.

UGHHHHHHHH I think I need to have some now before my second fill and restriction sets in!

Tammy, Yes, I had ate cornbread and Beans several times since my surgery 2 years ago, it just got stuck this time. I guess I am too scared to try it again though after my incident. The more fill you have and the tighter your band is, you gotta be more careful ie., things that might have been no problem in the beginning might now get stuck, with the hole smaller it passes through with more fills. That is just what the nurse told me yesterday when we talked. Here are a list of foods I could not tolerate when I had 6 cc in my 10 cc band: white bread, pastas, rice, cheetos, mac and cheese. So I just swore off eating them once I had trouble once with them. Everone is different though....it might not even effect you that way at all. Good luck

Brenda- Not only do you deserve better, you demand better! Shame on that doctor. I know you are doing fine now but another fill dr. would be my suggestion. Thanks for sharing with us. Flashover
