Stretched pouch

[jms462001 9]

There was a report on how clothes manufacturers have made their clothes inches bigger and kept the number lower. This is to encourage us to continue to purchase clothes. I have two thin sisters that have been the same weight their entire adult lives. One was a 9 and is now a 3-5. The other one was a 5 and is now a 0-1. One is 50 and the other 55. So, they have been the same size for over 30 years, but their size number has gotten smaller.

It is true! I actually do wear a smaller size now than I did when I weighed 15 pounds less 25 yrs ago.......at least in jeans.

I have read numerous times that people have shrunk their pouches after a week or two on a liquid diet. Good luck to the poster with that.

If you stretch your pouch, they have to take out Fluid from the band so your stomach falls back down - kind of like starting over again if I explained this the right way.

I left that part out! I think the people did have to get their bands unfilled before the liquid diets.

OMG that FREAKS me OUT! I'm so scared of that happening to me. What are the indications of a stretched pouch? How can you avoid it?

I think one loses restriction.
