Re: The Pouch Test

How does the pouch test work & how long do you stay on it? Where do I get the information on it? Please let me know. I had my laproscopic surgery June 12, 2008 I had weighed 303 the day of my surgery, and I weigh 230 as of now. I hope I did NOT stretch out my pouch. Please give me some ideas.

Please & Thank-you,
Lynda H.

try that Lynda

It is pretty hard to stretch your pouch as it is made of the toughest part of the stomach.  YOu can however stretch your stoma and food will pass through so quickly that you will not get full.  My sister has done that and now she can eat just like before.
