Marla 35 Posted March 13, 2013 I just came from my nutritionist, she said my pouch was probably made too big, maybe....she wants me to call the Dr in the morning, she sd that I can eat way too much, this early on, with no restriction at all so far, Warning ! for revision surgery ask your dr to make pouch smaller if possible, I may revise my pouch... Not sure yet, will talk to dr and ask about the possibities.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
