What is the test called to check the stoma size and stomach capacity?

I just fired my surgeon because he will not check this even though I have told him that I could eat too much and drink too much right away. I called several time about it and mentioned it at every Dr appt and he refuses to order it he just wants me to come in again. You can't tell what's going on in the inside from the outside and I have a new job and can not take a day off work he only sees people M-F days and he's 1.5 hrs away. His only answer is if you never take more than 7 bites at a meal then you ill lose the weight. DUH! This was true pre-surgery too. Why did it cost $40,000 if thats all I needed to follow? I still don't feel I have a good mechanical tool to aid in this. Someone I know just had this surgery and has lost more weight in 7 weeks then I have in 9 months and is very restricted in the amount she can eat. I have only lost 54 pounds and could have done that and have done that through WW. We both had the surgery through the WISH Center but she got the surgery I thought I was getting. I"m ranting I know but I want to ask my PCP for the test and need to know what to specifically ask for. Thanks for any help anyone can give me.
