Something I wish my doctor would have told me about an unfill



Recommended Posts

so I had an unfill about a month ago, I was having heartburn, Migraines, dizzy spells on a daily basis so I asked my doc for him to take out half of the Fluid in my band so i went from 5 cc to 2.5cc. I stayed at 1200 calories this whole month never went over once, didnt drink any soda stayed away from junk food had more salad and chicken than ever before and guess what... I gained almost 10 pounds -_- I go back on friday and I can only imagine what he is going to say to me.. But, How was i suppose to know that everything i was going to eat would make me gain weight. * le sigh* Even though not having heartburn and dizzy spells has been wonderful. I am so ready for another fill

I feel your pain. I had viral gastroenteritis in late March which caused tons of diarrhea. In April it was still lingering and I couldn't even keep Water down. The nausea was worse than the diarrhea! I knew I was borderline too tight the whole time so April 10th, I asked him give me some relief. I'd already lost 16 lbs in 21 days (waaay too fast)!! He said that I would probably regain some weight and he certainly didn't lie! I gained 13 lbs practically over night. The only up side was that my "good curves" returned. I've dropped 7 of my 13 through good nutrition and exercise. On Monday, I'm praying for a super tight band when I leave the doctors office.

Can I lose 1 more pound between now and Monday??

luckily I have had to have half the fill removed twice and still lost 5lbs. I did cut down my cals to 800 and prayed I could hang on. 3 more weeks until a refill again....

      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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
