what are the symptoms of a staple line disruption?

I posted this question yesterday, but did not include enough information about myself. I am 2.5 years post-op open RNY. I am not transected. I have gained 40 pounds in the last 14 months or so. Though I try to keep my portions small, I CAN eat 2 sandwiches, or a hamburger (with bun) and pot. salad in about 15-20 minutes. I am very full but not DYING when I eat these amounts of food. When I eat small portions, I am STILL HUNGRY.. not satisfied at all. My questions.. are there any other symptoms of SLD besides weight gain and ability to eat increased amounts of food? Is there pain? Is it possible for that tiny pouch to stretch and accommodate that large amount of food? For anyone who had a SLD, after it was corrected, did you lose weight? Thanks for any help!
