I was unfilled about 12 days ago when my doctor discovered my pouch was dilated. Hopefully, it will shrink back down and I can be refilled. I ate liquids and mushies for a week, and am still eating very small meals, but the heartburn I had been experiencing previously has not gone away. Taking Pepcid and some Mylanta. I am sleeping much better at night, though.
Is this normal? Does it take some time to go away? Or is the continuing heartburn an indication that the pouch is not shrinking? Or band slippage?
