Question:
This week I had an abdominal CT scan done to check my gallbladder....

I had to drink some contrast, so it also showed my pouch, stomach, intestines, etc. The doctor told me my pouch is measuring 5cm by 3 cm. Does anyone know if this is a 'normal' size for a post op of 2.5 years ?? I'm not talking about how much my pouch holds, ounces wise, but does anyone know what the actual 'size' should be? I have gained about 15 lbs. over the past year and am working to get it off. Please email me at [email protected] Thanks!    — michelle T. (posted on October 23, 2004)

1 inch equals aprox 2.5 cm so that would be about 2 inches by 1.5 inches. sounds tiny to me considering the usual pouch is about the size of an egg initially and yours sounds about that now. Next If I were you I would look at what I was eating and if I was grazing.
