What is a pouch test? I just got another fill last week and I too can feel when the food stops and then passes. It has started to hurt right in the middle of my chest when the food finally passes through. Is this normal? I'm worried that maybe I am too tight now. What do you mean by sliders? Im new to this band thing ( only 6 months in) and so far only lost 26lbs....so dissapointing. Any suggestions you can give is great
