Tell me about the reasons you got an unfill. I went to the doctor's yesterday and I was convinced I was going to get an unfill. I am due to see the doctor on Feb 6th but I decided to go there yesterday because I have been having pain in my back whenever I try to eat anything solid. They told me it should be going away soon, and he also told me it is called associated pain, so I decided to ride it out. I'm kind of sorry I made that decision because I'm still getting the pain. I am now going to do only liquids until Feb 5th which is the day before I see the doctor. If I get the pain on that particular day I will not change my mind about the unfill. I'm at 5 cc's right now in a 10 cc band, so please tell me about your experience with unfills, I love hearing from all of you. You are all such an inspiration to me, and you make me believe I can do this.

I got an unfill on Dec. 14 and had to rest my stomach for 30 days. I got an unfill because I was sliming and throwing up nearly every time I ate. I was having acid stomach and was living on zantac in addition to starting to get acid reflux. I could not eat anything of substance like meat and somedays, I couldn't even get down a Protein Shake. Other days, it would be more "normal" for eating but bad in the acid stomach department. I didn't have pain, per se, just symptoms. I am now going MOnday for my second fill after the unfill and I feel amazing. A band that is too tight is a miserable experience...and so amazing when it's just right!!!
