You're definitely NOT alone in this! I just came from the dr. today and had a complete unfill also.
Three weeks ago I had a fill. Two weeks before that, I had to have a little removed. I've had this scenario going on for several months now. Back in December (after having been at my sweet spot since October), I started getting real bad heartburn. After several days of this I was being woke up during the night literally coughing and choking on fluid. I went to see my doctor and they thought I had gastritis (sp?) so they gave me some meds to treat it. There was no relief after a week, so I went back in & they discovered it was actually too tight. This confused me, since it was perfect for several months. They told me the weather, barometric pressure and sinus drainag can actually create more restriction. They removed some fluid and *sigh* -- what a difference. I had relief!!!!
I've had this fill/unfill several times now. The weather has wreaked havoc on me so far this year --- whenever rain is in the forecast lately, I feel the heartburn coming on.
I was feeling the burning/pain last week and went to liquids and by Monday of this week, all felt fine. I had no burning, but I did notice that I wasn't eating more than soup and mashed potatoes. This morning, the burning was back, but this time I also had a 'heaviness' in my chest -- almost like I could feel the restriction. I finally decided I needed to get some fluid taken out and things heal completely. When they put me under the fluoroscopy, they said I had a 'borderline' slip --I hadn't actually slipped yet, but it was starting to. I asked him why that would happen -- I've had no vomiting or anything like that. He said for about 3% of people, it can just happen sometimes. They removed all the fluid and now I'm on liquids and mushies for the next 2 weeks -- ugghhh!!!!
So don't feel bad, sweetie, I'm right there with you -- no fluid--no restriction and I want to eat so bad already!!!! I don't know if I can do this!
Good luck!
