I was banded July 5th 2007 with a 10cc VG Band. I now have 13cc in there and I have never had restriction. I am down 20 pounds only from the 2 weeks of liquids right after surgery and nothing since. I have been eating just like I did before surgery... fast, big portions. Because of this, did i stretch my pouch? Last month I had an UGI and was told the band was placed correctly.
This is my fill history. Would agressive fills cause any problems?
I have had 6 fills....
1st Aug. 29th 5cc w/fluro
2nd Nov. 21st 3cc, The doctor only pulled out 3cc so he put in other 3cc = 6cc
3rd Dec. 11th 1.25cc = 7.25
4th Dec. 24th 1.65cc = 8.8
5th Jan. 22nd 1.2cc = 10cc
6th Feb. 5th 3cc = 13cc
How do I find out if my pouch is stretched and what is the solution? Will I have to have another surgery? Maybe my band is too big? :confused2:
I am so very devastated and depressed. I cry everyday. My lapband struggle is on my mind every second of every day.
Thank You for any comments or suggestion.
