Well just think, you are soooo close to Onederland! Let that be a motivator to stay on track!

Whoot!!!

Wishing you the very best as always.

My thoughts and prayers are with you as well. Hopefully an unfill will fix things for you.

Sorry you're having these problems. I had an incident a few months ago where all of a sudden I couldn't keep ANYTHING down. It was awful. Did the upper GI/endo and it showed a slight slip. My doc took out a half cc and I was totally fine. The slip resolved itself and I've had no problems since. I hope this is the case for you too!!

Hugs!!

Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers.

I saw my surgeon today. He looked at the upper GI x-rays and said he didn't see a slip. One side of the pouch is not shaped quite as nicely as he wanted but he said it looked ok. He thought it looked like the band was too tight. He is going to take out 2cc's on Thursday and see how it goes. He seemed to think that would fix the problem. I am so relieved. I had all kinds of fears going through my mind.

I tried to talk him into taking it out today but he will only do fills and unfills under flouroscope so I have to go back Thursday morning. I guess that is a small price to pay.

Here's hoping that the slight de-fill will be the solution!

Keep good thoughts, and let us know!

I'm so glad to hear there was no slip! That is great! I"m sure your little unfill will help -- at least I hope so! (((((huggs)))))

I got 2 cc's out on Thursday. I can eat again. I ate an egg mcmuffin (without the top bun) on Friday and was comfortably full but not overfilled like I would have been without the unfill. I think it did the trick. It is really good to be able to eat again.

Yes indeed, having a slight unfill can make things so much better, can't it??

It's been 7 weeks since my slight unfill, but now my appetite is coming back with a vengence! But, I am resisting - afterall, I am supposed to do the work with the bands help, so I need to work at it, and not give in the to the urge to fill-er-up immediately!

Glad to hear you are doing well! You know, alot can be said for those slight unfills. I still battle with the idea. However, my band has been loosening up some of late, so I might just wait it out to see what happens.
