Hello. I was banded on 11/5/2012 and have only lost 20lbs post op. I have slight restriction after 2 fills. Is it possible i stretched my pouch? I am in need of MFP buddies for support!

it sounds like you need another fill,most banders that i know have at least 4+.you really need to get the tightness right or it will not work x0

Are you religiously tracking every bite that goes in your mouth? Weighing and measuring everything (we tend to fool ourselves)? Getting in high intensity exercise (walking does not really do much for weight loss)?
Honestly, you have to work 10 times as hard to be successful with the band. You have to make sure you are putting forth the effort.0 -
i was told it takes years of overeating to stretch your pouch...everybody journey is different some lose it faster . you should stay full up to three to four hours before you next meal with only 3 meals a day if your feeling hungy you need to get an andjusment.0

Agree 110%!!! You can do it, but you have to make it work.
