:crying: I am very worried because last week I was able to eat a whole sandwich made at home. I didnt even realize it till I had eaten the whole thing, I didnt have any problems eating it like pain or discomfort. I have only been out of surgey for 2 months. I talked to Shirley and she said she is only able to eat about half of a sandwich along with her husband. Im getting more and more depressed about this. I do not want to have another surgey to correct this if there is a problem, which I think there is a problem. I have been feeling like something hasnt been right since shortly after I had surgey. I still have that "hunger" pains not really pain but I do get hungry, I was told after my stomach healed that I would no longer have hunger. I'm just feeling why why why...why wasnt it done right the first time? Either way something is wrong with my stomach bc I am only suppose to hold 4-5 ounces. I have been able to hold more than that. Dr. Almanza's staff wants me to come back to Mexico to have an Upper GI test done. I dont want to go to Mexico again, I will ask one of the Drs I work with to order the UGI. Its just that why wasnt this done correctly the first time? I put all my faith and money into this surgery and I'm having problems now. I know that I'm sitting her being "poor me" its just that I do not have the money or time off from work to go back to Mexico to have this corrected. If the UGI does show my stomach is to big well then I will have to go back to have Dr. Almanza to correct it. Has anyone else had this problem? Please help and give me some encouragement. Tabitha

Thanks for listening everyone.

Hello everyone, thanks for all your concerns and information. I had my Upper GI this morning. Mechanically everything looks perferctly fine. The Radiologist will get some measurements for me so I can send them to the Dr. The Radiologist said the stomach will stretch, this I know, but you would think that I would have had some kind of pain or discomfort, which I didnt. As soon as I get the results to Dr Almanzas office I will not know what the outcome will be. Please say a prayer for me. Oh by the way, that was the first time I tried to eat any bread. Thanks Tabitha
