Did my pouch stretch??? I'm worried...

[Mysticalks 0]

On February 21st, I was filled to 9 ccs total in a 10 cc band under fluoroscopy. I could tell that it was one of the doctor's first few times of performing a fill on a lap band patient (it wasn't my surgeon performing the fill). They filled me up to 9.5 ccs at first, made me drink the barium, and asked me if I felt tight- I answered no, but they still took out .5 ccs!! I asked my surgeon 3 days later if it'd be possible to go for another fill, but he said no

Tonight, I was able to eat a 6 ounce steak and maybe 5 ounces of grilled chicken for dinner before being full.

For the past week, I've been sick, and have maybe thrown up 5-6 times. I read somewhere that vomiting can cause the pouch to stretch, so I'm worried that I'm able to eat so much because of the pouch stretching.

My question is...do you think that I'm able to eat so much from my pouch stretching, or maybe I should be filled more to restrict the eating??

I'm SO worried! Please help...

If you have only thrown up 5 or 6 times, I doubt your band has stretched. Are you sure your band only holds 10cc? If you are at 9cc and have only lost 11lbs in 5 months, that seems highly unusual. At 9cc you should be extremely tight!
