  1. I think after every fill I am expanding my pouch. I don't have much restriction and I blame myself for making wrong decisions. Does anyone know what I can do to shrink my pouch? I currently have 11cc in a 10cc Realize band.
  2. I'm on the same boat w/you. My doctor or his stuck-up nurses never told me why and what happens when I eat. I have been eating just fine. Burgers, fries, sandwiches, etc.... Not until now did I know and I pray its not too late. My body felt fine when I ate. I was told it was normal be hungry. I will go back to mushy foods because now I am so scared but good luck to you. I'll ask my docter on Monday and try to get back w/you.
  3. I was banded on 12/4 and starting eating mushy food 10 days after. Then moved into solids fairly quick. The doctor never told me what happens when you move too fast. I might have stretched my pouch or even worse. After reading comments all night, I am now scared. I've been eating burgers and fries. Be careful. Stick to your diet.
  4. I was banded 12/4 and came out of surgery hungry. I told my doctor and he said it was normal. He too told me to just stick to the diet like described but never told me about the stretching and tearing. WOW! I'm in trouble. I can eat a lot. I have eaten hamburgers and fries. My family looks at me in shock. What am going to do? I'm hungry:confused:. Lack of communication just got me into trouble I think.
  5. Hello, I am scheduled to have the proceedure on Dec. 4 and I have some concerns. Does anyone know how much wieght is lost the first month before the 1st fill and has anyone had a tummy tuck? If so, please share your experiences w/me.
