Since I've been reading these boards, I am totally freaked out that I have done something to stretch my pouch, slip my band, flip my port, and anything else I can hear about. I was banded on 3/7/08. I asked my doctor about how I'll know if I did damage and they said there will be excruciating pain. But then I read here how many people have slips or stretched pouches and didn't know. I haven't had any excrutiating pain (except the first few days) and sometimes I can eat what I think is too much and sometimes I'm full after a few bites. Sometimes when I eat too much I just feel really full, no pain, no PB, no vomiting. Is this ok, or could I have done damage? I've not lost any weight this last week, so this is adding to my fears. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. My first fill is not until 4/22.

Thanks!!

I wouldn't spend unnecessary time and energy on the 'what if's'. If you feel okay, don't stress!

ditto on kbnaz...listen to your doctor and what HE says. i was like you when i first started. but every doctor is different in the way he/she practices, and you just need to make sure you follow his orders to a T. and remember to breathe! its going to be ok... i am only a week out, and i already think this is the bes thing i have ever done.

You won't mess up your band if you follow your doctor's advice. Stay on

whatever diet your doctor told you to stay on until he/she advises you to move to the next stage. These problems come from throwing up often. (otherwise known as pb productive burp)
