I had a stomach staple in 1985 and had lost from 460 lbs to about 200 lbs. When I had my Open RNY in 2005 I weighted 380 lbs. I had high blood pressure, high blood sugar and was taking narcotics for arthritic back and knee. I had streched my pouch and could eat more than you could. When I had my surgery my pouch was reduced to where I could only take in 1/4 of a cup. I am now 14 mos post surgery and can take in about 1/2 cup of dense protein. If you have any other questions, do not hesitate to e-mail me, I'd be happy to help you... Blessings, Carolyn
