PININA Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 Hi everybody! For the past couple of weeks, I've been incredibly tight, So I made an appiontment to have an unfill next Saturday. Dr. Martinez recommended I follow a liquid diet until then, as I have had several episodes of Pbing in the past two weeks or so. Has anybody been through this?

nothereanymore Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 My unfil was due to making my goal, but I know many who have had one. It just seems to happen sometimes and you're smart to take action on it! All the best, Lisa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BandDiva Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 Sounds like a good idea. My tightness has only lasted a couple days but if yours is a couple weeks, sounds like you are making the right decision. Feel better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went from a 4.2 to 4.4 cc which was too tight. Went back to a 4.1 cc and still was tired of not being able to consistently eat hard proteins at night, so I just had another .2 taken out on Thursday. Now at 3.9 cc I feel a bit too loose now and do not have any restriction, which is a bit disconcerting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LisaLaw Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 GIVE IT A FEW WEEKS, IT'S ONLY BEEN A FEW DAYS okay, will do. I thought I would make a final decision until next week. I have been so spoiled having such great restriction and losing inches and the lbs needing to catch up. Thinking I may have to do a pouch test to kick it into gear. thanks!

Jacklynrae Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Hi everybody!For the past couple of weeks, I've been incredibly tight, So I made an appiontment to have an unfill next Saturday. Dr. Martinez recommended I follow a liquid diet until then, as I have had several episodes of Pbing in the past two weeks or so. Has anybody been through this? I went for a fill this past Wednesday and felt fine, but by the time I made it home (after a little more shopping and a flight) I was so tight I could barely drink water. It worsened the next day and by Friday morning I KNEW I had to do something. I would say that you should listen to your body because although it is tempting to have such great restriction (especially when wanting great weight loss) it is not worth the suffering. Just listen to what your body is saying, you will be surprised that it generally makes the right decision. Good luck and keep us posted!!

I am thinking of doing this pouch test myself, in the hopes that it might help me get my restriction back. Has anyone else done this? Does it work?

PININA Posted May 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 Well, I went to TJ this weekend and on Saturday had an unfill. Dr Acosta removed ALL the fluid and asked me to come back for three weeks. He said that the band itself was fine. What a relief! Now to keep the weight off that a recently lost!!!! I can't lie, though, it feels good to eat again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
