You can stretch your pouch from over eating a little here and a little there.....over some time you have stretched your pouch. Yes, I have had my band deflated and started all over again, several times. In the beginning I had lost a lot of weight, but as time went on I gained again. I was banded in March 2008 and had my first child April 2009; I haven't had successful weight loss since my first child was born. It's very depressing and frustrating to be going through this again.

I go back on May 14th to get a fill. I have stretched my pouch 4 times....I just can't lose weight, I'm gaining!

Banded at DayOne Health in downtown Chicago March of 2008. Everything was great, but two kids later I can't get back on track. Very frustrating!!!!!

Thank you all. Just to know that I'm not alone is such a comfort to me. I go tomorrow to get a band adjustment, but I have a feeling that I have stretched my pouch. Just had my second baby and this happened after my first pregnancy as well.

I have urges to eat a lot of food like I used to and since I can't due to my band, I eat sweets or desserts. Because of the high sugar content, I'm able to full-fill that urge to eat. Problem is, I'm gaining weight and being depressed in the process. It's easy to say don't eat those things, but hard to do. I have stretched my pouch 3 times too! Anyone has any wisdom or help for me?
