OUCH! Fill and unfill still not ok



Recommended Posts

HI, I am 5 months post op and have had NO problems with my band thus far but my weight loss has pretty much stopped so when I went for my Dr. appointment they gave me another fill (4th all together) They put in 1.5 cc so I had a total of 6 cc in. I couldn't even keep a sip of Water down. I went back and got an unfill of .75. Immediatley felt better. This was yesterday. Today I can swallow water very slowly I tried to eat some steamed shrimp, chewed almost to liquid. But after 2 shrimps I got this pain in my chest . It's right underneth my left breast and can feel it all the way through my back. In fact it hurts worse in my back then in the front now. I can deal with the limited amount of food I can eat but the pain is not something I want to feel every meal. HAs anyone else gone through this? What do you think I should do? Thanks so much.

I had an unfill after my port reposition became infected and my stomach closed up.. I haven't had a single solid meal yet without that pain!.. even chewing really well.. I give up most meals and go for a shake.. I am hoping it is because I am still slightly swollen,.. the back pain is agony isn't it!.. I usually throw up when that happens.. (daily!).. it has been nearly three weeks since my unfill. My infection has gone.. but still can't get most solids down..

didn't even think about gallbladder!!!!!!!!.. heck..don't need that now!

I hope you feel better soon.

      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.

      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.
