Are all pouches created equal?

It seems to me that how much restriction you have following RNY is down to chance.

Some people can eat no more than 2-4 ounces at a time and others, like me, can eat a whole microwave meal of 14 ounces or so.

I'm really confused.

I believe not. I read an article by a surgeon to where she was saying that the pouch should be of 15cc. She was saying that most surgeons will not make the pouch this small because it's too meticulous and takes way too much of their time.

When I mentioned it in my last seminar, the surgeon's advisor told me the surgeon will only make it size 30cc. That's the smallest he is willing to go.

I was a bit disappointed but I got over it fast. My biggest concern is just like yours: not enough restriction and bigger chance of the pouch stretching over time.
