How would I know if my staple line or pouch has popped open?

I am 1 year post op and seem to be able to hold more food volume than what the egg-size pouch is supposed to be able to hold. I am losing VERY slowly (1-2 lbs. every couple of months). Is it possible that my pouch has stretched already or the staple line has broken? I had the open RNY.
