Great link. A lot of very valuable information and reminders for a new bandster. Being in the medical field I enjoy a higher level of band knowledge and want to learn all I can.

Interesting article... I'll as my surgeon about some of that next time I see him. One thing, though, is that the article talks about about eating improper amounts, which it states causes stretching of the pouch. Then later it says that the food passes from the pouch into the lower stomach pretty quickly. It doesn't seem like stretching can occur unless that large volume of food sits up there for a while, right? If it passes through pretty quickly, how can the pouch stretch? Hmmmm....
