I need information about food not staying in the pouch...

Before my surgery, when I was doing my research in this site I've read about a person who was not losing weight,and could eat a lot more than usual because, even though her pouch was still small, the food would not stay in, emptying the pouch almost imediately. She also said the problem had been corrected but didn't say how. This happens to be my problem also. I've done an Upper GI series and the doctor said my pouch is emptying very quickly which explains why I'm always so hungry. I have an appointment with my surgeon on the 18th. and I'd like to go to him with some information handy. Can someone help? I'm almost 8 month post-op, and I'm stuck at 60lb. lost since I was 4/5 month post-op. Thanks to everybody who supports this site and best of luck to all. Ana
