I went camping for my birthday for a week and I'm really paranoid ive stretched my band. I ate a bit too much and snacked a lot. Although I haven't had any pain or symptoms. How can I tell if I've ruined my band? I haven't put on any weight but I didn't lose any either while I was camping. I'm seeing my doctor Friday but I can't afford any re-adjustments. I'm really worried do i go for an xray or something or can my doctor just tell?

Relax - I am sure your band is fine. It probably means you need an adjustment. Not sure why you say you can't afford one. In Australia they are covered by Medicare and you only end up with an out of pocket fee of around $20.

By re adjustment I mean another operation to fix it if it's stretched or slipped. Which Wouldn't I have to pay for all over again? I haven't gone for a topup yet my first one is Friday. It's not really that I ate too much it's more that I ate too fast and didn't chew enough. Thanks though you've calmed me done a bit lol.

Your fine.

You don't stretch your pouch by overeating one time. The pouch can stretch over time if you continue to abuse it and force yourself to eat more than you should.

If your band had slipped you would be in pain and know about it.
