Are there any signs that help indicate if the pouch is streached? I have noticed my stomach growling lately and feel hungry frequently. I also find I am eating more before feeling full and the weight loss has stopped. Other than that, I feel great.

I have also had severe pain around the port area. It still hurts to move after 8 days, but is slowly getting better. I did find that it helped to wrap a back support band around my middle. This appeared to support the stomach mussels better and offered some relief The down side is it does not allow for the incisions to breath, so I have to limit the use. The amount of pain surprised me as I read so many stories about others having no problems. I guess everyone's experience is different. Hope you feel better soon.

Hi all, I am also new to this site and so happy that I found it. Everyone seam so nice and supportive. I am scheduled to be banded April 28th and can't wait. I am just getting started with the pre-op liquid diet. Any tips you guys can offer are greatly appreciated.:tongue_smilie:
