  1. My BIL had bypass 2 years ago. He swore up and down that if the procedure was done correct the pouch would not change shape. Since he lives with us I think I can make a pretty good judgement call that yeah it has stretched. His meals are more then 4 ozs. He never ate sweets. Never. Now I am finding candy and snicker bar wrappers. He's drinking soda (ok diet but) and koolaid and he never did before. He's eating twice as much as he ever did (since surgery) and in the past 6months he's been eating fast food again. Sugar makes him red in the face, flush. 2 years and we still have dumping and vomiting and at this point I wonder if he just isn't bulimic. On the flip side when he did his surgery our meals at home changed greatly in portion and in health and I didn't budge a pound... I do question the no sugar because I see sugar being consumed and I question the dumping going away cause after over 2 years I still see it. I think like others have said, when your hurting you question yourself.
