Unfill before a vacation?

Manatee · December 19, 2007

Just curious if it's a good idea to unfill before a vacation? I'll still be in my home country, but far from a lap-band doc. I'm doing fine with my current fill, so this would be a precautionary thing.

Thoughts?

If you are doing well why would you do it? Do you want to eat more and gain while trying to enjoy a vacation? I would never do it, unless you are too tight to begin with!

My wife did it last summer, and now she regrets it. She had a lot of problems getting back to her "Sweet Spot". She said she would not do it again.

I did it and ony gained 3 lbs. It was worth it for me. I enjoyed my vacation a lot more. Good luck.

I didn't go for an unfill on my wedding/honeymoon..

The band isn't there to come & go as you please..if you're at a good restriction, I don't understand why you would. My 2 cents

I wouldnt. If you're going to unfill and fill to suit yourself then frankly I dont see why you'd have a lapband in the first place. The sensible thing is to break the habit of eating more on vacation, as seeing a vacation as a break from your healthy routines. I take my running shoes and eat sensibly and come home feeling WAY better than when I used to pig out for two weeks!
