Yesterday I went back to the surgeon and I just kept on vomiting for weeks and after weeks of barely drinking clear liquids I decided to get a slight unfill. I am disapointed I had to but for the better of my heath I had to but I know my weight loss will probally stall but better to eat a few more calories then starving to death. I had become so weak and I was only consuming perhaps 200 calories a day if even that. Doc said it will be slow but in time I will get to my goal. i guess I am kinda feeling like a failure doing the unfill but heck i got to 219 before at least , I am hoping the unfill will not make me want to eat tons of food. I am hoping my will power will be stronger then my hunger, hugs to all Lisa

you did the right thing. and you know you did as for the weight if you are dehydrated it can cause alot more problems and starvation can kill you...so take the time right now and get feeling better.

Lisa, you did the right thing! That slight unfill will help you to keep some food down and not become malnourished. You'll still lose the weight-don't worry about that! I've noticed that when I get below 900 calories a day, my weight loss stalls, so maybe you'll actually lose faster now!

I think you are doing the right thing Lisa I had the lap band surgery April 9th I have only lost 30 pounds I have passed out 4 different times ended up in the ER yesterday they did a MCI and a CT everything looked good. I emailed my surgeon today I want this fixed or I want the band out. I get a really funny burning in my stomach and down for the count I go. I have lost alot of my hair I have to take 2 iron pills daily + prenatal vitiamns Its just a mess. hope your feeling better Tammy
