I think I asked this before and I still have a difficult time wrapping my mind around your situation? So your pouch is enlarged and now they're going to wrap a band around it? Do they remodel the rest of the pouch below the band if it's dilated?

At any rate, good luck with this and lean on us if you struggle with portions sizes and any complications from the band.
