Been meaning to post everyday, just busy! The surgery went fine and the ENT said he had never seen a salivary stone that large. I'm hoping I don't see my picture with my eyes blacked out and my hospital gown over my head in the Guiness Book of Records!
The part that thrilled me the most was I lost a little weight in the 10 or so days that my fill was "undone". I don't feel that I could eat anymore than I normally do, just was able to eat some things I hadn't been able to for a long time, 1/2 of a biscuit w gravy, 3 shrimp, an 1/8th of a hamburger, etc. Everyone in my family asked if I was going to "chow down", but to be perfectly honest, I don't think I can anymore under any circumstances.
So all is well...just to damn hot!
My best to all.

I really hate to "unfill", but from everything I've been told, read & heard it's the smart thing to do. I get the "unfill" this Wednesday, my surgery is the 29th and my "refill" is July 7th. If you would like to call me to talk about the stone my cell ph # is 817/713-2189. Are you having synptoms? These are not soooo unusual, but the size of mine is out of bounds! Normally the removal is done on an oral surgeon's office, but this one's just too big.
Thanks for your response.

Having an unfill is a smart move and can be done safely without fluro. Afterwards don't be surprised at having MORE restriction on less fluid, depending on how long you are unfilled. Dr Smith has also noticed this personally, so it's not just me imagining it!
When is your unfill? I'd like to talk to you about your stone.
I guess I need any response ASAP, especially from you, Megan, as to having my band emptied. I have surgery scheduled for the 29th and have appointments with Tru Results aftercare to have it emptied as well as filled afterwards. Should this be done with the benefit of the x-ray or does it really make any difference? I've had two fills w/o fluro and they have been fine. I'll appreciate any feed back from those that have had to do the same or from anyone with Tru Results or AIGB or whatever it is now.

Very happy to hear you are doing well with your surgery and continuing weight loss. That would be pretty bad if your 15 minutes of fame was how you described...
