???Silly Question???

Hi, lap band date in two weeks here...

If even after hitting the "sweet spot" fills are needed from time to time...essentially, will I be slowly streaching my stomach out until my pouch is a duffle bag?:scared2:

Sorry, I had to ask.

    No, not unless you decide to start eating as much food as you can possible stuff in there at every meal. After you reach your sweet spot, the doctors like to see their patients about every six months. Be aware that small amounts of saline (for lack of a better word) evaporates. On some visits, the doctor may after talking to you about your eating habits and weight loss decide to pull all the fluid from your band to check that there is no change and if there is, will "top it off" to where you were.

    Stretching isnt a problem unless you are consistently overeating on a regular basis or if you start drinking a lot of carbonated beverages.
