My experience has been that it tightened up very well. It seems to have much more capabilities to stretch and shrink back pretty quickly. After my plastics, the outpatient hospital kept me overnight and had NOOOO food on my acceptable list of sugar free or bari friendly. So for about 36 hours at least I had no solid foods. My pouch shrunk down some then too. So my experience is that it responds rather quickly and does get the restricted feeling back somewhat.

Hope this helped.

Good luck!!!

Huge hugz
