How do we know if we stretched our pouch?

Eileen, thanks for replying. I'm starting to have really bad heart burn issues down. I'm scheduled for a upper GI Thursday morning. My pcp ordered it but I was thinking of calling my surgeon as well to let him know whats going on. I do take Ibprophen fairly often due to nerve damage in one of my hips that acts up every now and then. I don't take it every day or even every week but I do take it.
