A Dr C question - dilation of the pouch

Dr C - I was diagnosed by my surgeon with a case of dilation of the esophagus and pouch. "It's not bad," he said, "just a cause for concern." He reminded me about small portions and told me to be careful.

Before this news, I felt almost like a I needed a fill, dr said it was because of the dilation.

After being REALLY good on portions, I mean TINY, for about two weeks, everything feels different in there. It feels restricted again.

Can the pouch fix itself that quickly or am I just having weird mental restriction?

Thanks in advance.

It's hard to say, but it certainly could have fixed itself that fast. Try to avoiding getting "overfull" and hopefully it'll stay that way!
