Pinkylee 7 Posted July 27, 2006 Is it easy to stretch your pouch? Can you eat a proper amount of food and then get gas enough to stretch your pouch? (Had really bad pain and lots of gas after a small meal of Mexican food--pain started about 6 hours after eating) Can drinking liquids too soon after a full 6 ounce meal stretch your pouch? Can the pouch go back to normal after stretching it if you don't overfill it again? I'm worried I stretched my pouch. The pain I had after the Mexican food meal was pretty bad. My appetite has increased quite a bit since then Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Melissa Lea 1 Posted July 31, 2006 Wanttobethin --did you feel tightness in your chest alot with eating? I've never heard of a stretched esophagus. Does it go back to normal? Melissa Lea Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wanttobethin1 0 Posted August 1, 2006 Melissa Lea, I felt a uncomfortable feeling thought it was normal. I would not have know about this if I had not had floro done Dr. Houston showed me my sister floro picture. Her esophagus is five times smaller than myine . Dr Houston didn't say he told me to baby it and not to eat steak or bread and to chew well. I have and will continue to do this until my next fill. Iam praying that it will go down....
