I think I need an Unfill ?



Recommended Posts

I had my second fill on the 5th of this month . 2cc's

Everything was fine, liquids went down fine , semi solids seemed to be going down fine . ( My doc has a different post fill diet than most he requires 3 days clears 3 days liquids , 3 days mushies, 3 days solids) I was just about to go on solids and my mushies started to not go down very well.

Now keep in mind I am under an EXTREME amount of stress right now .

which I suspect might have something to do with my band being overly tight . Solids do not stay down now at all, I had meat loaf tonight and after about 4 bites I was done it stayed down.

So i stopped. A few hours later I tried to eat some more and it came back up. its been like this for a few days now . Its sort of hit or miss on what I can and cant eat. So im on staying on liquids now until I call my doc in the am .

Part of me wonders how much of this isnt finally having some good restrition and im not doing something right . Maybe it is good restriction , possibly being overly tight from the stress as well ???

So i dont know what to do . so im calling the doc in the AM. Anyone who's been too tight before how did you know ???

Thanks

Mindy

Thanks. I am loosing close to a pound a day right now. Im waiting for my doc to call me back right now.

I think i need an unfill. This morning I woke up and could just feel the band tight. Almost like I couldnt catch my breathe. I sometimes feel like that after I get my fills. So I am pretty sure I need an unfill if even a slight unfill .

Hey Mindy

I have found there is a VERY fine line from too tight and good restriction! Sounds to me like you need to at least visit the Dr and see if you are too tight. I have found that even .10ccs or .05ccs can make a HUGE difference for me. GO with your gut, as she said! :cool:

I think you are right. there is a very fine line .

I probably would do well with a slight unfill just a little . still waiting for doc to call back lol

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
