pouch size

is it possible for your pouch to get bigger? If so how can it be fixed? I know I don't have enough restriction but am AMAZED at the amount of food I eat before I feel full. Its scarey actually.:omg:

Jodie, it is possible to stretch your pouch and actually even use the esophagus to hold food if your nerves are not responding anymore. But if you're pregnant, I'm assuming you've had an unfill? If that's the case food is likely going through the stoma at a good clip, meaning your pouch is emptying faster than you think.

What's your fill status, and what did you expect to be feeling now?

I have a 3cc fill at the moment. Surgeon didn't empty it because I was already gaining even though eating well and exercising at the time of becoming pregnant. I don't really have much restriction any more - I used to when I had my last fill which was more than a year ago. I can eat pretty well anything without probs. Though dry chicken and really fluffy bread still get stuck a little - but hardly ever. I usually go back for seconds now of a regular sized adult portion and very rarely feel stuffed like i used to with just my mini bowl serve. I am still not able to eat anywhere near like I could before the band.

My surgeon is not worried at all. He assures me that my progress before pregnancy shows how easy it will be after baby is born. I can have a fill 6wks after the birth.

Iforgot to add that I have a SAGB which is 11cc capacity I think???
