Should I get unfilled?



Recommended Posts

Had a fill yesterday and this is the first time that I can't even get Clear liquids down, I mean some gets down but not much. It's only day two since fill but I'm not so sure I can start to eat food again, it is just swelling or am I too tight?.....help would be appreciated.

The stomach can swell after a fill... but if you can't enough fluids down you can become dehydrated and end up in the emergency room if your doc doesn't have weekend hours!

It is always best to do fills on a Monday for that reason. Can you do enough fluids by slowly slipping and allowing time for the fluids to clear the band? You might want to call your doc's office before they close for the weekend!

i agree with labwalker. please be careful with this with the weekend approaching. - i recently had a slight unfilled because i was too tight. i was able to pass liquids but when i drank anything cold i could feel the band get tight. I would try some warm fluids for now to stay hydrated but please call your office you should never feel like this (my opinion) bet of luck

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
