*SCARED* I have a stretched pouch...

Please let me know what your doctor says, it sounds like what happens to me. I get too tight and have reflux, they unfil me and then I am too loose. I have also noticed an issue with liquids, especially if I have eaten within a few hours.. it is quite weird, meanwhile my weight loss is totally stalled...

I think we are in the exact same boat. Before my last unfill, I would eat and not be able to drink even hours later. As soon as I would fall asleep, I would start choking everything up. No matter how early I ate it. I am also at a plateau since this started happening.

I will definitely let you know what he says. I am going to ask him about the 5 day pouch test diet as well.

Hi Thin!

My doctor scheduled me for an upper GI for next Wednesday. He said he will let me know after he looks at the results. He did still proceed with the fill, so I am on liquids for the next couple days anyway, so I decided to try the 5 day pouch test.

Question - Why is it that every time I get a fill and am on stictly liquids do I start dreaming of big greasy cheeseburgers??? :thumbup: (Not that I've had one in over a year, but I still dream of them!! LOL)

I had a very tiny dilation noticed because of an upper gi for acid reflux at night. They removed about 0.25cc's from my band in the hopes it would help. Today was my follow up upper gi and now it has either gotten way worse or I have a slip (the pouch is so big they couldn't tell). My only symptoms were heartburn/reflux. That is still all it is. I got a total unfill for 30 days and we will see where it goes from there. I feel so lost! I was doing so well and just really don't want a setback and REALLY don't want another surgery
