Was my pouch transected?.....

Hello everyone. I had a RNY 1 year ago and stopped losing weight after 6 months, in December. By that time I had lost close to 90+ pounds. I didn't think too much of it, because I thought that my weight lost was just slowing down due to my being 6 mo.'s out. Also, I thought that I was on a plateau. Now 6 months later, I truly feel that something else is going on. I've started to gain weight, up to 10 pounds. With calorie counting and a lot of exercising, I'm able to keep the weight gain down. Further, I can eat a lot at one sitting, without getting full. I'm definitely worried. A couple of months ago I had an Abdominal CT and the report read, "stomach was surgically shortened by a near transverse staple line". I was under the impression that I was transected, and had ruled out a staple line disruption. However, based on this sentence in the report, it appears that it was not. What do you guys think? Thanks in advance for your input. Tonya
