Surgerversary and Unfill
Yesterday I made 1 year with my Realize band.. down 60lbs. However, the last 3 weeks I've had unpleasant nightly Acid reflux episodes. The doc's office said I might have something stuck so I may just need an unfill.... so I will be going tomorrow for an unfill. Anyone have this happen to them? If so, do they take all of it out or just some? I'm not a happy camper :(
follow your bliss..

I haven't had reflux with the band. I have read that just a little unfill can help a lot. If it were me, I would be happy to get rid of the reflux. Being a tad too tight is no way to live. Good luck!

I had reflux and a small unfill .2cc made a big difference for me. I would ask him to start small and see if it helps.
Lapband - Jan 2009 weight goal reached with lapband. Revised to VSG- 1/25/16
A tiny unfill (just 0.1cc) made all the difference to me. Relieved the reflux and still left me with restricition.
