Unfill ????



Recommended Posts

Hi all , really need good advice. Got my third fill and now on 6 cc. Can only hold Water and clear Soup and even that takes a few min to go down . Will it get better in the morning or do I get a little unfilled? :(

I got a fill around the time of my period without realizing it (it was just before my period started). I tend to be tighter when it's that time of the month already, and then with the fill it was even worse! I did liquids for about 3 days and then was able to move on to mushy foods and finally back to solids. I think as long as you can tolerate some liquids it's ok to wait 48 hrs or so.

OMG! My periods started just after the full. That's probably what happened. Thank you for the advice, it's such a blessing to be on this forum. Am in pain but will wait it put a bit :) x

Do not wait more than a couple of days though. You can definitely get way to dehydrated quickly.

Thank you do much. I think I will give it a day before freaking out. Am so hungry though :(

How are you doing with your band now? I'm in the same boat today, had a fill, at 6cc and I feel the exact same way. This was your 3rd fill? This was my 4th. How long have you had your band?

I had an unfill at 5cc to 4.5 cc. I was getting stuck and throwing up with everything. Now at 4.5 i can eat anything..no more restriction and hunger is back..had zero hunger at 5cc. Frustrating. Getting the fill back next week. Gained 3lbs since the unfill.

Had to get an un fill , had .6 ml taken out. Almost died as my systems started shutting off because of dehydration . Had to travel 2 hours to find the nearest nurse to do it , and it was snowing like hell :(. Came home and ate like a piggy :(

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
