Have read all the input here about the streatched pouch. I so far have most of the symptoms you all have mentioned, such as being able to just about eat like I used to. I have had a few problems of throwing up lately. This has come on kind of gradually, but one main concern I have is a severe pain that seems to reoccure more and more often. This pain is located on my left side in upper part of Ab. It is a rather sharp pain and hurts when I sit very long, and when I sleep on my left side. I have lost most of my weight, have gained back 5 lbs and do not want to gain this back... Does anyone have any idea ab out this pain. I know I should call my dr, but he is in another town, therefore, I am going to try the liquid for a few days or a week and see if the pain goes away, etc.
