 Hi I had my band 1 year ago and did well but this past week.
I could hardly eat and swallow and sweating, tons of gurling.
The last fill was October 2011, total 9.5 ccs since surgery.
So went to emergency room,they deflated (took all the saline out) and gave me all gi test,  test all showed good results no problem with passing liquid and such.
Bariatric doctor stated comback to office next week about putting saline back in. 
Does the Doctor usually put back the full amount of what? and what can I do about gurgling and eating foods?thanks. omar

Omar,
I believe they usually put the fluid back in slowly. They usually take it out to give your band a rest. Glad all your UGI tests came out OK. I don't know any thing to do about the gurgling. Are you still gurgling after the un-fill? I would just call your Dr on Monday and ask them. Usually after an un-fill my Dr says eat soft foods for a day, then slowly go back to normal foods. Good luck.

 I agree with Mari.
My doc wouldn't but any in for a little while.
Good luck
