Stretched sleeve

[Mpstokes82 2]

Anyone know for a fact their sleeve stretched and what are you doing about it? I had an upper endoscopy done today and my sleeve has stretched and my surgeon is going to fix it. I'm not really sure what I did to stretch it but he's attributing it my pregnancy.

My surgeon's position is that it is impossible to stretch my sleeve as he removed the flexible part. The only way to make the sleeve bigger is if it balloons at the top or bottom due to rapid, massive, habitual over eating

Same. My surgeon insists that if the sleeve is done correctly, all the stretchy part (or the fundus) is removed leaving only the muscle which won't stretch. Natural relaxing will occur, but he advised me that I would never be able to eat more than 2 cups in a sitting -- 6-8oz of protein' MAX.

At three years and three months out, I have found that he is wrong. There is no way I can eat two cups of anything except popcorn' and 4oz of protein' is my limit. If I push it to 6, there is a high probability it is coming back out.
