I have had an *Enlarged pouch* 4 times now, each time unfilling completely, going on liquids, letting it heal, then refilling in about 2 weeks. One time, I know it happened from vomitting, but the other times I have no clue. Each time brought severe acid reflux and heart burn, not being able to keep anything down, and dehydration.
What is the difference between a band slipping and an enlarged pouch?
The first year was great, (banded April 07) No problems. Since then its been a struggle of fills/unfills, up and down and pouch enlargements. I'm tired of this, and wondering how to prevent the pouch enlargements in the future? I was self pay, but now can't even afford the fills much less a revision to a sleeve.
