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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
