G'morning Holly, Strictly GUESSING here, but I wonder if they're talking about the OPENING (stoma) to the pouch being too tight/small/restricted going IN, but too widened on the exit as it's being released into the intestines? The only downside that I see to it being too large on the way out is that the food does NOT stay in your pouch/stomach as long so the sensation of "feeling full" would not last as long for you. BUT, with the slow entrance, Im not sure if the fast exit is that big of an issue - they almost seem to cancel each other out as far as keeping you 'satisfied' ...full/hunger wise? Sooooooooooooo - enough GUESSING on my part, let us know what your doctor says, I'd like to know his take on it. Happy Holidays - Lei

I have never heard of that Holly so I would be interested to know what that means too.... maybe it means you can't get enough food into your pouch to satify you and it empties before you are full - so you could graze all day if you wanted??? Who know? Please keep us posted on this mystery..... Jackie
