If you don't mind me asking...how can you tell?

You mean dilated due to a stricture or back in surgery to make the pouch larger in volume?

I remember reading about a woman who'd had to hag3 her bypass redone due to a dilated pouch.

Dilated would mean that you would be able to consume foods without pain and regurgitation. Do you feel you might have a stricture? If so yes, you need your pouch dilated. Call your surgeon's office and ask to be scheduled for an EGD.
