I had my surgery last august, down 40lbs and have been stuck for months new.  Not gaining, but not losing either.  I wasn't sure if maybe I stretched out my band and came across a site called "Weight loss 5 day pouch test".  Has anyone tried this and does it work?  Or am better off just working the program?
you
I have picked up many of my old habits and am thinking this might help.

Thank you for any suggestions anyone may have.

If you are stalled maybe you need a small fill,as you lose weight the fat pad around your stomach shrinks and you need to tighten the band a bit. You can't stretch the band, you can stretch your stomach a bit but you'd have to over eat ALOT for a long time to do it. The pouch test is designed for the RNY surgery not the band.

Thanks for the info.  I have 5.2cc and did fill fuller, just have been out of control lately.  Guess I just need to get back to the basics.  1 cup or 4 oz... not a plate.  haha

You can't stretch out your band. You make no mention of restriction. Did you ever even get restriction? If not then it's just like trying to lose weight BEFORE you got the band. Many bandsters NEVER reach restriction!
