How do you know if you've stretched or had a slip?

Can anyone tell me how to determine if you've stretched your pouch or your band has slipped?

There is no way for you to tell. The only way you can know is to have your stomach and band checked by a bariatric surgeon.

dang it, missy said what i wanted to say.....since she did it so well i wont repeat or be a copy cat...listen to her, only the dr can know for sure.

Hang in there with that. I itched like crazy too but don't itch it I used a ice pack to soothe it. It will pass and you will love your band :)!
