Stretched Pouch

Hello!

I was just wondering whether anyone elses pouch has stretched and have needed surgery??

A bit about me.... I'm 21 years old and I've had the band since November 2008, my starting weight was 116 and I'm now down to 75 (give or take a couple of kilos, I fluctuate!). My goal is 65!

My problem is, almost 2 weeks ago, I had all the Fluid taken out of my band and now still I am having trouble eating, it's becoming more and more uncomfortable for me to eat, even after only a small amount, after seeing my doctor he has sent me off for x-rays (which I'm having on Wednesday) and said that he's checking to see if the pouch has stretched, because I shouldn't be getting the heart burn and so much restriction. I know it's only 2 days away but I'm worried that I'll have to go back in for them to re-position the band.

So I guess my question is...

1. Who's had this same problem and who's had to have it repositioned?

2. How was your weight affected, did you gain or lose weight?

Can't wait to hear back from you all :) XOX
