Pouch stretch question

I am two years post-op. I just went for a fill yesterday because I felt like I was able to eat more than I should - I see the pouch under the fluoro and they say everything looks fine. The pouch looks so small that I wonder how it is holding the amount of food I eat - not that I eat that much just wonder where it goes if it can't go down and it won't fit in there - I do stop before I have to spit it out but just doesn't seem big enough to hold the food. Also, I am having a burning in my throat - I guess that is acid reflux but it feels like a sore throat and it travels up to my neck and shoulder sometimes. Thanks.

to answer your question... if you eat more food than your pouch can handle, you throw up. i did have a problem with a dialated pouch from eating too much but i was also vomitting a lot too.

It just seems like the amount of food I am able to eat in the evenings would not fit in the pouch and I am not throwing it up - maybe the pouch stretches a little - I have it checked every couple of months under the fluoro just to be safe that nothing is wrong and they always tell me everything looks fine. Thanks.

I am no expert new to the band but i believe its that maybe some of the food is already passing into the lower stomach as you eat so its not all just sitting in the pouch.
