Stretching the pouch

[michmouse 0]

I have a question. I am worried that I may have stretched my pouch. How do you know if you did? I am 3 months post op, down 30 pounds, 2 fills totalling 4 cc's in a 10 cc band.

The problem is that I don't really seem to get the full sensation. I have restriction as far as sometimes it hurts if I swallow and don't chew well, but I can eat way more than I should, and I have on occasion.

Am I just not at proper restriction yet, or by eating too much have I stretched my stomach? Any thoughts on this? Any suggestions?

Thanks! :help:

You have a large band (my hubby does too)... it'll probably take more like 6cc or even more to get a "good" restriction. Focus on practicing the bandster rules during this adjustment period... when the restriction hits, you'll be glad you know how to take small bites, chew & wait! :party:

30 pounds in 3 months is awesome!! Congrats!!

Stretching your pouch would be so painfully you would have choose to repeat over and over again the practice of eating too much and then holding it without pbing or sliming or throwing up, all of witch you could know you had because of such a restricted feeling. I think you need to talk to your DR. and get his opinion. That is what he is for!!!
