Ok, so I had my first fill 3 wks ago and I'm pretty happy with my progress up to that point. But! My Doc wanted to go conservative on my fill, he only did 0.5cc because he worried that he was going to over do it, and he said I was doing very well already. Well, I had noticed increased restriction for about 3-4 days after the fill.. and then BOOM!!! I'm hungry, I can eat quite a bit (not a whole lot, but I've noticed I'm eating more) and I'm getting very anxious. Have I stretched my pouch????? Is this normal, what I'm going through???? Please give me some input. I'm serously considering asking for an XRAy or something to make sure my pouch is ok. :help:

I wouldn't worry .5 is very conservative. I had 1.25 first one, then 2 weeks later .75 and I could then and only then feel some restriction and then one more month later .4 which puts me at 2.65 in a 4cc's band and I definitely have great restriction. Plus is you have the bigger band that's hardly any fill at all. What size band do you have the Inamed 9.75cm that holds 4cc's of saline like mine or the bigger Vanguard that holds 10 cc's?

I wouldn't worry to much. I have a stretched pouch unfortuantly and it was a result of me over eating, and PBing...I would say if you haven't been PBing then you haven't stretched your pouch. I would think that your fill just wasn't sufficient enough.

Sounds like you need another fill. I doubt you stretched your pouch!!
