I'm a little over 2 months out with my surgery. I have had 2 fills . My fills total 4 cc. I have lost 40 since I began my preop diiet. The first fill I had lost 7 lbs and from May 5 to June 9 I had lost 8 and next fill is July 14. I haven't had any problems of getting sick and if I'm not careful I can hold over a cup of food. On dr visit with last fill they wanted to know what I had for breakfast and I had a whole banana that particular day and the nurse said I should only be able to hold 1/2 banana and she hoped that I hadn't made my pouch as large as my stomach. I guess everything was ok because she didn't get the dr. Does anyone know the signs of pouch being to big. I'm not complaining because I haven't had any problems but I'm worried about my stoma.
