Does anyone know if the pouch will return to original size if it has stretched

because of eating too much? Is there a feeling (like the "heavy feeling") when the pouch is full? In the old diet days, people said your stomach shrank if you didn't eat for a few days. Does the pouch? One more question: a friend who had the standard rny without transection told me her surgeon puts a band of muscle/tissue around the pouch when he operated so that it couldn't stretch. Is this standard procedure in the rny? She said it was his trade secret and I can't find info on it, but I think it is a standard procedure. Anyone know? I hope I have that!!!
