Had an unfill now gaining...



Recommended Posts

Ok, my last thread was about the pains I was going through with my fill making my band too tight. Cause I was PBing, and Sliming, and throwing everything I ate back up. Anyway, I went in on Saturday, and got an emergency unfill, and now, since then I have no restriction, and I have gained 5lbs. I feel like a failure, and Im doing exercise, and watching what I eat during the day. I dont get it. Anyway, I see him again, Monday, and I have got to tell him that I need at least 1cc put back in, he took 1 and a half out, I think all I needed was a half taken out. Man Now, I put myself back on liquids because of this weight gain. I dont want to gain anymore. I will be on liquids until I see him again. Im not happy, and I felt horrible when I saw the scale. The problem lies with restriction, when I eat, I dont feel it. I chew and chew, and chew more, and take my time, but nothing. Its like the band isnt there. UGGGGGGH. This is really getting me down guys. Anyway, thought I would share this with everyone. Hopefully I can get back on track Monday. :cursing:

If anything I've learned, is that Doctors don't know you. Be sure to be vocal about your treatment. It sounds like you're very much in tune with your body and knew that he should have only taken out 1/2 cc. Next time, be honest with your doctor about your course of treatment. You're in your skin. Your docotr isn't and sometimes that open dialogue will help them to make a better informed decision with you. Good luck! I'm getting banded on January 2nd and can't wait!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
