Question:
Streched Pouch

I've recently been hearing about people having to have their surgery re-done due to streched pouches. Just out of curiosity, what are signs that your pouched has been streched??    — PoohBearNC (posted on February 16, 2007)

I am just four weeks post-op and a stretched pouch is weighing heavy on my mind. Today good ol' hubby just had to make a pot roast in the crock pot and leave me here alone with it. It would have been fine with all the soft veggies and all but I went straight for the beef. Prior to today I have felt no restriction. Today however I may have had my first piece of stuck meat. Gotta tell you that is scary. I guess I was able to get it up, but just have that funny feeling in literally the pit of my stomach, something is different!! Any thoughts???
