Get an unfill sooner rather than later.........I had to get an unfill yesterday I got to where I couldn't keep Water down.

I was at 6cc's but now I am down to 4cc's cause I tried to stick it out for three weeks and got alot of swelling. It feels so good when you get some Fluid out............

If you can't even get Water down, get to your doctors ASAP. Sounds like you need an unfill because it's super tight, and you don't want to get yourself dehydrated or irritate your stomach and lead to slippage and other complications from being too tight.

Yes, call your doc NOW. Don't wait. If you can't swallow Water you'll dehydrate quickly and just get tighter and tighter (plus all the other issues of dehydration)

You'll end up in the emergency room. Easier to call your doc now and get it attended to.

Hey Lola........

I was banded on the 13th of April 13, 2009 too!!

Get an unfill. I did and it is better. Being to tight you won't lose weight either.............if you wait to long they might have to take all the Fluid out due to swelling.

      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?
