I have posted on here about a similar topic, but this time I think I may be screwed...

I keep a very tight band, and get stuck pretty often. However, last night I drank several margarettas (first time I have drank in 2+ years) and ate pretty soon after...EVERYTHING went down. Woke up this morning, and everything is going down, this evening , everything is going down...this has NEVER happend. i feel no pain, no sickness, and if I drink after I weat, I can feew a little bit of tightness/restriction.

Did my band slip? Did I enlarge my pouch? My husband is home from iraq for two weeks, and I DO NOT want to make a doctor run if not needed , or to worry him, but I am FLIPPING out!!!

How's your appetite? Are you still feeling full for several hours after a small amount of food? If your band slipped, you'd probably have pain or acid reflux, or some negative side effect. Stretching your pouch is unlikely, since you'd have to overeat quite often to force things to stretch.

Since so much of what you did was drink liquids, which pass through the band fairly easily, chances are good you did no permanent injury to things. I have days where I have to be very careful because things are really tight, then other days it seems like I can eat everything I want to. One test would be to do as they advise after a fill - go on liquids or mushies for a few days, and see if things don't return to your more normal level.

If you find yourself unexpectedly hungry, or if you experience anything unusual, call your doctor and ask them about it. I'm sure you're not the first person to drink too much and then wonder what happened.

Good luck!
