it started today afternoon . had lunch normally then while sleeping had reflux and woke up coughing . had something crispy baked snack in evening which went down with a bit of pain and then had a spasm in my ribcage area which made me double up and then in dinner I could eat more than what I normally can ... has my pouch stretched ??? I have had my surgery on 06/28/08 and still havent had a fill.:tongue2:

If you have not had any fills, then it is almost impossible that your pouch has streched. This is more likely to occur after you have had several fills and the band is tighter around your stomach creating a small pouch. Until you get fills, there really isn't even a pouch.

From personal experience, there are many times I've wondered if something had gone wrong, only for things to go back to what I considered "normal" a day or so later. The band is very sensitive, and can vary from one day to the next for many reasons other than an issue with the pouch or band itself.
