Okay... stupid question.... can you stretch your band out even before you get a fill? Someone asked me, and I have no idea, I would think you could, but not sure?? And if you did, would it help then to get a fill? I am new to being banded and so is my friend... its just a little nerve racking all these questions we have:confused_smile:

That is not a stupid question. You can stretch your pouch (not your band). Some people do have restriction even without a fill and if they consistently eat more than they should then the pouch (your new little stomach) can stretch, and you can't "un-stretch" your pouch. Your band can slip at any time if you don't eat properly especially during the healing stage. Sometimes an unfill or a fill can put the band back in place sometimes not.
