Unfill - Physician'



Recommended Posts

SoccerBlueJ, yesterday I was fortunate enough to have the experience you should have had. My last fill was last October (7.2 cc in a 10 cc band) and I was having a tough time adjusting to that level. I was getting stuck too often, etc. and in December had 0.3 cc removed. I have been trying to adjust to the new level but still getting stuck and pbing more often than I should have been. I have to own up that I was not following the program - too big bites too quickly, eating slider foods. I saw the PA yesterday and she said that getting stuck 5 days out of 7 is clearly too much and my band is still too tight. She said there's no incentive to follow the program when you get stuck anyway and if you're too tight there's no extra reminder to avoid slider foods. She removed 0.5 cc and said to work with that, concentrating on the right size bites, the right portion size and the length of time to eat. I go back in 4 weeks and if I don't have restriction she will add probably 0.1 cc (not 2 full ccs!). I wish your doctor had been like this

Sorry everyone - this post should have been titled Unfill - Physician's Assistant with common sense but I accidentally posted before I finished editing. It started out as a reply to SoccerBlueJ but I decided it should be its own post so that's why it doesn't make complete sense.
