Checking my surgery report from 2004 and see the size of my new pouch. Wanted to see what size pouch other RNYers have? Trying to determine if my pouch has stretched over time, I do go for an upper GI on Tuesday and will check the current size. Do you know what size your new pouch was from RNY?

I recall from my surgery report that my pouch was 30cc in size.

The pouch, itself is meant to stretch over time to accomodate 1-1.25 cups of food.  When there isn't food in it, it will shrink, but not back to the original size. The stoma, however isn't meant to be stretched or you won't have any restriction. The stoma (opening at bottom of pouch) is made since we don't have a pyloric valve, which is on our unused reminent stomach.

Hope your UGI goes well.
