Question:
I read somewhere that throwing up stretches your pouch, is this true.

I do throw-up sometimes and the thought of stretching my pouch is scary.    — boazgrl (posted on April 13, 2005)

I'm not a doctor or pouch expert, but I don't see any way the act of throwing up could stretch your pouch. Stress the staple line, yes, but not make the pouch bigger. I would be more concerned about why you are throwing up as opposed to the effects of it at this point.

It isn't the occasional booboo that causes a problem. It's unrelenting nausea, which would be caused by a blockage or , more rarely, by repeatedly over eating. Having to toss a bit that wasn't chewed right isn't gonna do it. Having daily vomiting that just won't stop, no matter WHAT you do, MIGHT. Obviously, if you have that kind of vomiting, you need to be seen about it.
