I had my first fill. Felt great, followed the rules the first 48 hrs nothing but liquids. It has been about a week. I don't know how to get over being overly paranoind about stretching or slipping of my band. I went to dinner with a girlfriend had two bread sticks about two bites of chicken breast and I felt like I may have gotten something stuck the feeling went away and it hurt just a little and I freaked out. Did not drink or eat the rest of the night. I am worried about not getting enough or eating to much, I have also found myslef not waiting two min between bites is there a possibly I have done something wrong. I was thinking about going back to my pre diet before surgery for a while two Protein Shakes and a salad for lunch. Any thoughts anyone else gone through this emotional roller coaster?

Well, you can't "stretch" your band. It is a hard piece of plastic with a balloon type tube inside that they fill with saline, it doesn't stretch. Bands can slip, one cause being vomiting which can come from getting stuck. They say you can stretch your pouch from consistant over eating. I don't think you have anything to worry about. Relax, live and learn.

Good Luck on your journey!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
