  1. Can your pouch stretch so it holds too much food?

    jeri5leo replied to cindylew's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
    Hello to all, this is my first post. I was banded as a revision on July 17. I have lost 23 pounds. That doesn't seem like a bunch. I received my first fill in September. I still feel like my food is not inhibited. He put in a full 5cc's. He said that was alot. No loss since the fill of weight, but I am in a 12. I have never been in a 12 so something is happening. I know with my first one a silastic ring gastroplasty there were so many foods I couldn't eat. I haven't found that to be the case with the Lapband. Any advise?
