Stretched??

[nomorejellybelly 77]

I think that's a good idea to get the pouch size checked out. I think I might need to do that also, but wasn't sure how to actually find out if I've stretched the pouch. I went thru True Results and the surgeon isn't always at the location I go to for my fills. I think I'll check and see what I need to do to see him and find out if insurance will cover it.

I also just wanted to add that I have had a few fills since November, so its not like I havent had any and just have no restriction. Im afraid I've ruined my band....Im getting on the good foot and doing what I need to do! I hope and pray its not too late.

Everyone feels restriction at different levels. No one can say 'you will FOR SURE feel it when you hit __ cc's". Have you thought about the 5 day pouch test? I hear it really makes you realize the band is there and its doing its job. Just a thought!!

I've been worried that something is wrong with my band because I don't have much restriction, but I think I just need more fill. I'm so down on myself the last couple of months because I was doing great since having surgery in June, but after experiencing extremely high amounts of stress the last couple of months I have gained 6 pounds. It makes me want to cry. I am scared my pouch stretched out becuase I have been eating quite a bit, but I never had much restriction to begin with. I feel like I have been on a very strict diet since June. It all went south in February when my life went crazy. If the pouch is stretched, are there any other signs that I would need to look for? I think I should try to 5 day pouch test. I was just doing sooooo good and then screwed it up.
