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!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
