Can anyone refer me to any literature on enlarged anastamosis?

I had RNY June 01. After 8 endoscopies, 2 upper GI's I had revision June 03. Doc supposedly removed an ulcer at that anastamosis, made my pouch smaller, and removed a hernia. Since then, I have gain 40 lbs and climbing as if I have never ever had the original surgery. I was told my two other docs that it is possible that the surgeon made the anastomosis to large causing food to collect in it and my intestine thus acting as a stomach, much like it does in Cancer patients that have their stomach removed completely. I have complained to my surgeon and will see him Monday. I want him to fix it. I did not take this journey only to regain. Diets do not work, I am doing all I can, including diet pills to keep the gaining under control and nothing works, hence the reason I had the original surgery. Please help.
