I've always heard from my support groups, doctor, and also on here about the stomach stretching after surgery.... but how does it stretch? Overeating?

Dr. Mathew Weiner does a very good video about this and explains it very well.

Great Video. Thank you for sharing.

No sound when I play, can you include the web page link?

I've heard yes and no. I'm 2 years out and I don't think my stomach has stretched. I can eat about six ounces until I'm full. I still get the restriction when I eat and I'm full.

Interesting video, thanks. For the person who couldn't hear it, if you are watching on your phone you might check if your ringer switch is off, on my iPhone I had to switch that back on to hear it

I love Dr. Weiner. He's got a lot of good informative videos on YouTube.

I've read his book. I like especially what he says about nutrition - and he doesn't mean "lean meats over everything else" when he talks about high quality nutrition.

@Montana Gal, thanks for a fantastic video! As top-notch as my surgeon is, there were points in that video he never made clear to me. They key one for me is [paraphrasing] "Don't worry about your stomach stretching. It will, and that is expected. Worry instead about falling into the same traps that brought you in in the first place." Scary, but that is the core issue for us all, isn't it.

You are welcome, I really like the majority of his videos. Keep up the great work!
