rapidly emptying pouch

I just had an upper gi series done this morning. I have had significant weight gain over the past year. I had rny in 2008 and did well. Did not lose as much as I wanted, but my dr was happy. I have been increasingly hungry between meals and it has me very concerned. The study showed that my pouch was ok, but that it was empyting very rapidly. I have not heard from my bariatric dr himself yet, so I am not sure what that means for me. Anyone else have this issue and if so how did you deal with it. Thanks.===April

I haven't had this happen.  My guess is that your stoma is stretched which would make your pouch empty quicker and YES make you hungry quicker.

Hello!! my mom has this problem. her stoma was stretched and she was told it was from her eating and not stopping when she was full..she is having the duedonial switch ( i know i totally misspelled that)

hope this helped :)

hopefully I will hear something from my bariatric dr soon, and we can go from there

Duodenal Switch, DS for short. (*grin*)
