Can throwing up stretch the pouch?

I saw my doctor two weeks ago for my 6 month check up (I am down 85 pounds YAY) and mentioned to him while I don't throw up regularly I seem to go through periods where it still happens. I am watching for reasons (not chewing enough, types of food)/ He mentioned to me that throwing up is one thing that will stretch the pouch and now I am extremely worried. Today I had some ham and needed to throw up badly but was so worried I kept fighting it as long as I could, in the end I still had to throw up. I have never heard about throwing up causing the pouch to stretch but was wondering what others have heard. Thanks. Cindy
