Should people pursuing DS surgery be concerned with their stomachs stretching?

Ive read a lot about RNY postops concerns over whether their stomachs would stretch over time and allow them to eat too much. Im really confused now because this hasnt been discussed as a problem for DS patients. Since with the DS surgery your stomach starts out as 1/4 its original size (as opposed to much smaller with RNY) wouldnt that eventually stretch to twice that or more given time? Wouldnt it make sense just to leave the stomach alone and focus exclusively on the intestine?
