UNFILL

hi, just wanted to let you know I called the Dr. and he said come right in, and said being tight is one thing but you need to be able to do liquids and I couldnt'.  even my water this morning, it stayed down, but just sat there for over an hour and wouldn't go down, so I thought it was just a matter of time and the same thing that happend yesterday would happen again.  I dont want to be tight like this, NO Way !!  and with the weekend coming I didn't want to be sick. I'll go back to my 5cc's and loose slow and still be able to enjoy life.  loosing weight isnt' all I want out of life.  I lost 2 lbs. since my fill on Monday. so he unfilled me and i'm back to where I was.  i feel so much better and having a protein shake.  He said I might be still tight for a few days cause of all the swelling.  thanks for your help and support,  but OUCH, it was a rough poke...  so, as for my DH not wanted me to go and have to pay our NEw deductable for  2009,  what a waste of $ that was.  Now, i'm not gonna hear the end of it.   oiyyyy

Happy to hear you are feeling better..... Who knows it might have been just enough to kick your body into loosing... even with the unfill of .5cc ,,, we don't know how much salin stays in the tube part that goes to the band.. so the .5 could have been enough to inflate the band to feel restriction and when he took some out might just be enough to keep just the restriction without the pain.... lets hope.....you will know in a few days after you give it a rest..... Keep my posted

I'm really happy that you called and got "unfilled"!  I was worried about you getting dehydrated!  Hopefully things will be better for you now and once the swelling goes down!  Take it slow and keep us posted!!!!!!

Good news is that you are on the mend and you now know how much fill is too much fill!  Hope you are back to yourself soon!

I am glad you got the Unfill as well.  Dehydration is not fun!! 

I feal for you, I've been there myself as far as water goes I cant even stand to drink it I have to drink coffee-V-8 juice- milk-cocoa-eat popcicles... I still say I'm dehydrated every day..
I do the best I can with liguids.

Gald to hear things are going well for you.
