Stomach stretching



Recommended Posts

Eat small.. meaning don't stuff yourself. Get in the habit of stopping eating when no longer hungry rather than seeking "full" and you won't stretch your sleeve.

I am not really sure if sleeves stretch - I am nearly 4 years out and I sometimes can eat more than other times. I find that when I "follow the rules" and eat Protein first etc etc etc I magically have great restriction.

What are the symptoms of stomach stretching? I am so afraid of it.

Thank you:)

The belief that the stomach stretches after surgery is a myth. The reality is that with time your body adapts to the surgery by keeping food in the stomach for less and less time. I was watching a video a doctor made where he said that by year five most patients can eat a normal size plate of food.
