I am no medical professional. However, I have had slippage and been re-banded and it was speculated my pouch was distended. As it turned out, mine was clearly a slippage instead, but I was told at first that I needed to be totally unfilled to allow the pouch to move back down. In my opinion, SHE SHOULD NOT have put a fill on top of this problem. You have lots of time to lose weight. a few weeks unfilled seems far better than getting a fill on top of a distended pouch. I'd ask the doctor and state your concerns. Remember, this is not a race, there is no hurry. The health of your band and your esophagus is far more important. Just my opinion!
