Pouch or stomach pain?

Hi

Has anyone had pain in their pouch or stomach? Im not sure I can tell the difference of where it is coming from.

Can anyone describe what it feels like when you have stretched the pouch? or injured it?

I also sometimes get what feels like a sudden cramp in the pouch or stomach area. This is new.

I see my surgeon on Wed. for my 4th fill, but I'm having this pain and I'm not sure it's a good idea to get a fill. He does not take much time to talk, so I want to have my symptom description and questions clearly formed before I go in.

I have been hungry a lot. I can eat anything I want. I am still losing weight, but it's because I pretend I can't eat much -- not because I can't. 10 days ago I went to breakfast with a friend and had a pancake, a serving of tofu, 3 slices of bacon, and decaf coffee. This is a large meal for me these days and I came to a point that no more food would fit. But I am now concerned I may have stretched the pouch and maybe that is why I have that pain.

If this sounds familiar to you or you have a supportive comment, please respond :)

Yesterday I woke up feeling fat and ugly. Today I sat down and crossed my legs for the first time in decades!! So sometimes this journey takes on a roller coaster feel to it. We all know about that!

Thank you for your support here.
