Question about an unfill



Recommended Posts

May 29th I had a total unfill due to a small slip. I was banded Dec 2006. This is the first issue I've had with my band, so I was wondering... Shouldnt I feel hungry? Ive actually lost 3 lbs since the unfill. Does this mean it hasnt corrected itself yet? I'm just worried because I've seen so many people talk about the hunger with an unfill.

Your weight loss could be just loss of fluids. Regardless of your band, fat loss is still just calories in, calories burned. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth and accept that you're a better informed and more disciplined eating machine. Something we all strive to be someday. Congrats!

You are probably losing now because you are eating properly which you could not do when you your slip. You should be fine. Just watch your self control while you wait your 1 month for it to go back into place. Best wishes to your losses. Karen

Youre right Im totally fixated on eating EXACTLY how i should be. I have a 2 month wait to see if its corrected itself due to the fact that my surgeon is in another state & i have to fly back for my check-up. I guess in my mind I hoped that if I was able to get back on track and lose some of the weight i regained, that itd give me an even better chance of correcting itself. :)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
