Larger Pouch Vs Slippage??



Recommended Posts

I am confused and looking for details. Had a fill today because I have been stuck at the same weight for 2 months. I have been getting sick periodicially (about once a week) but I thought that was due to me not chewing well enough.

I learned during my barium drink today that my pouch has increased in size about 20% since my last visit.

I am very frustrated because I have been following the rules. I keep a freaking measuring cup in my purse in case I go out to eat...

So is my pouch being bigger considered slippage?? Because if so, they filled me today.. Should I be concerned and ask them to unfill me to correct it? I am really confused...

I would keep a very close watch on it because my pouch was also dilated and now i have to have surgery to revise my band. A dilated pouch and a small slippage are very similar I'm told by my surgeons and very difficult to determine the difference on an upper gi. My pouch went down with and unfill and waiting 6 weeks but it is still slightly enlarged.
