Unfill tomorrow

Ughhhh......

I have an appointment tomorrow at 3:30 to get an unfill.  I am so worried that this unfill will ruin my weight loss.  Sure I have been miserable EVERY time I eat and for hours after I eat.  But at least I was losing weight.  Now I am so scared that I will stop losing weight and go back to my plateau after this unfill.  I just feel defeated, like a big quitter.     

I'm going for an unfill but I'm not a happy camper!!!

Hang in there. You are NOT a quitter. You have put up with stuff someone like me would be crying about every day!

Tell your doctor your fears. Maybe there is some sort of compromise place you can meet with him on the level of fill. (I do not know if this is possible, but you can try, right?)

I agree with Nicolle, although we are not Bandsters. 
But maybe, just maybe.....there is some kind of "learning curve" here.  Maybe chewing more, eating slower....I'm not sure.  It sounds like the band is working, but I AM concerned about the reflux.

Talk with him honestly, he will know what to do.

 

Tell someone that you love them!

 We have a lot of banders in our support group and many have had to unfil, and I still see them reach their goals. Just hang in there girl! 

Same days it doesn't pay to chew the restraints off...

Hi Crystal,

I know you are upset, but as others have stated, have a conversation with Dr and tell him how frustrated you were by not losing and now you were, but with problems.  At least they do it all under fluro, so maybe he can tell a little more as he takes some out.  I'm sure he won't take out the whole fill, so hang in there.  I was worried about you!  I'll say a prayer for you.  Take care.  I'm sure you will feel so much better.

If you need to vent/talk PM me.  Good luck.  Georgie
