Banded at DayOne Health in downtown Chicago March of 2008. Everything was great, but two kids later I can't get back on track. Very frustrating!!!!!

Have u been in to get a fill recently?

Im I'm Chicago too

I go back on May 14th to get a fill. I have stretched my pouch 4 times....I just can't lose weight, I'm gaining!

How do u stretch your pouch? Have u ever had it totally deflated and started over from scratch?

You can stretch your pouch from over eating a little here and a little there.....over some time you have stretched your pouch. Yes, I have had my band deflated and started all over again, several times. In the beginning I had lost a lot of weight, but as time went on I gained again. I was banded in March 2008 and had my first child April 2009; I haven't had successful weight loss since my first child was born. It's very depressing and frustrating to be going through this again.
