Getting unfilled

After 2 weeks of being "tight" and not able to ANY solids and having mash potatoes get stuck tonite I finally called my DR.. she said that I am way over tight and need an unfill..so first thing in AM I am driving down..I did not realize how much pain I have been in..she told me to sip water, apple juice or gatorade till tommorow..I am feeling relieved...any idea on how much they will take out?

Lawbebe~ It depends. I was soooo tight over Thanksgiving and Christmas. I literally PB'd through Christmas infront of my MIL. I went to the doctor and had .4 cc's out. For me, that worked. I will need a slight fill in a few weeks, but this has been good restriction. There is no "magic formula"...just what is right for individuals. Enjoy the unfill. I know Terridoodle had 1cc taken out and was soooo happy with that.

Thank you..I am very excited about getting unfilled!! I thought I could wait, but we are going to Disneyland next week and there is no way I want to have issues down there!!! The Dr put in 1cc 2weeks ago..and before that I was able to eat, just a little more than I wanted to..so maybe 1/2cc will work..thank you again!

if you have been tight for two weeks we usually take all the band fluid out and let you rest for a week to make sure you have not developed any pressure ulcers and or esophagitis, give you oral antacid pills then under fluro re fill to comfort.
