Has anyone else been told there pouch empties too fast? What now?

Hi, I am 11 weeks post-op and have lost only 40 pounds. I went to see my surgeon yesterday because I can eat large amounts of food and I am hungry often. He did an upper-GI series and I was told that my pouch empties too fast and everything goes right through. He said I am the first case he has had like this and is going to see if there is a medication I can take to slow the pouch from emptying. Has anybody else had a similiar diagnosis? He said at 6 months he might put a lap band on if weight loss does not improve. Any advice would be appreciated. (By the way, I DO NOT drink when I eat)
