Guest guest Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 Hi, I'm and I was banded down in Mexico at the end of June. I was doing really well with my initial small fill that was included with my surgery. I got my first fill in September where the doc put in 2.1 cc's. I was immediately nauseated in in pain so he withdrew .1 cc. After over a month of complete misery, I had a total unfill in November. I am scheduled for a fill next weekend- I have done " ok " with my unfill, but did gain some weight back over the holidays. Oh, and I was told when I had my total unfill that my pouch had stretched. Any recommendations as to amount of fill I should be aiming for next weekend? I have never had an easy time so far with eating " real food " - even rotisserie chicken would get stuck and I would end up barfing. I also would get intense facial/sinus pain whenever I ate solid food. Has anyone else experienced that? I do very well on liquids- smoothies, Costco protein drinks, etc.... but, I know that's just supposed to be a stage, not a way of life. I could really use some advice here- I really want my fill so I can continue on my weight loss journey, but I am more than a bit afraid of being too tight, that miserable pain, the barfing and stretching my pouch again. HELP!! thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
