Does anyone do periodic band resets minus the unfill?



Recommended Posts

I have recent heard about band or pouch resets. I had to unfill my band because the dr saw a little food pouch forming above my band. I was at 4cc and had all the Fluid removed for 2 weeks. I remained the n liquids for 9 days then did mushy foods. When. I went back for the esophogram it had healed and gone back into place. I go back in 2 weeks to begin filling the band. But while I was on this site I read 1 person had done periodic band rests. He would go back on liquids for 3 days then do mushy foods 2 days. He said it would help his throat and band rests and he wouldn't feel as if food was storing where it shouldn't be.

my question is does anyone else do t his, how often and does it really work if you still have fluid in your band. Please let me know. I'm considering trying this. I know I should also ask my dr when I see him, but I figure I should ask my fellow banders.

thanks
