March 4th, 2009... Emergency Unfill!

Mar 11, 2009

I was off to see maggie today for an unfill!

I flew to Arizona one week ago today. Upon arrival in Arizona my band was noticebly tighter, I could only eat 2-3 bites of food . Things improved slightly during my stay, I was getting in my fluids but was only eating soft foods (cottage cheese, yogurt, mashed potatoes, and amazingly crackers/cheese). I flew home on Sunday and was unable to eat or drink after I got off the plane. I was hoping things would improve over the next day or so. Well now it has been three days and I'm even struggling to drink water. It just doesn't go down like it used to.

So, I went to the clinic for a small unfill. I'm not sure how much she took out (I don't want to know), but I do know that immediately I could drink water. I am on liquids for 2 days and then soft foods for two days. I will then go on to more dense proteins and vegetables.

I have an appoinment scheduled next week on Thursday for my 1 year surgiversary. At that appointment we will decide if I am ready to be refilled.
