Welcome to LBT, June. :confused:

You should be cautious about overeating, but as long as you're not having issues such as pb'ing, sliming, etc and you're keeping your meals close to the level your doctor has recommended, there's little chance that you've stretched your pouch. Most likely, you just haven't reached a level of good restriction, and your food is going through your stoma pretty quickly.

Try not to get discouraged, because it may take several fills to get good restriction, or you might get there right away. Each fill should provide a bit more restriction, so that you feel more and longer lasting satiety between meals.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
