A Lesson about overfill
posted on 12/30/06 6:05 pm

I am 6 months out and lost 65 pounds.  

I had a really bad experience with an overfill – it was actually horrible.  My doctor thought that I am probably in a good place but since I one day had 16 pieces of sashimi I thought I could use another fill. After the fill I was 2.8cc in a 4cc band.

I only had a protein shake after the fill that barley went down but came night time the nightmare began.

I couldn’t sleep because I kept chocking on my own saliva. I would BP on my own juices. I had to sleep sitting up and that was impossible. It was Friday and I went thought this until Monday morning.

Needles to say no food stayed down. Monday morning I called my doctor’s office but she was performing surgeries.  I was told to try to make it in less than an hour to the Hospital (before her first surgery starts). Of course I was late but I was brought out side of the surgery rooms and my doctor came out and unfilled me. She took out 0.2 cc.

Well…I am fine now.  I went back for a follow-up last week and didn’t get a fill although I feel am eating too much.  I just don’t want to go through that experience again.
