Just curious - "pouch"
In addition to the need to distinguish the pouch from the remnant stomach as others have already pointed out, before I came here to OH, the surgeon at the original informational meeting I went to called it a "pouch" and called the stomach remaining with the DS a "sleeve" (this was before VSG was available as a standalone procedure), so when that is the terminology the surgeons use, the patients do too.
