Yeah, i think i just need to chew more thoroughly and stop eating once i feel full...i still haven't mastered that yet. I'm just worried that my pouch has stretched. I have a 10cc band which is full at the moment to 6.5cc (i'm pretty sure) next time i go in i might get it set to 7cc...see how that goes, but i will have to master chewing thoroughly first!
Thanks for the advice, it's much appreciated! :puke:
Is great to have people on here to discuss things with. So thanks again!

The band itself cannot stretch. Do you mean the pouch? There's no way to tell that without an x-ray. As for slippage, based on what I've read in the complications forum, it can be pretty obvious as you'll have bad reflux, especially at night. You can search around in that forum for more symptoms.
But honestly, it just sounds like more fill is necessary. Do you regularly chew your food to mush? Or are you saying that you can't eat the foods you used to be able to eat the way you used to eat them? I have excellent fill - I can't eat more than a cup. But if I do not chew my food to mush, I suffer the consequences. But I can eat pretty much any type of food. Even .2cc can make a difference. Good luck.
I wanted to add...I have 6.5 cc in a 10 cc band.
