How can you know if pouch is stretched
Well, there's going to your surgeon, he can do an endoscopy to figure that out. They say if you eat as much cottage cheese as fast as you can... that'll tell you. But I personally don't agree with this.
You see, RNY has 2 possible strech 'zones'... the pouch itself, or your stoma. Your stoma is the connection between your pouch and your bowel. If that stretches, food goes through easily as pie, no hinderance. An endoscopy will help deturmine if this is true. If so, a revision, or Stomaphyx might be in order. You can't know either of these without a doctor, though. So I reccomend asking him this question.
