How do you know if your pouch is stretched?

I posted this is the general section but no one responded!!

The reason I ask this is because after I eat(dinner)I can look down at my belly and see my stomach protruding a little bit right where my port is. Does anyone else see this? I have pretty good restriction right now but am a little worried. I might go to the doc and ask but I would like to know if this has happened to ayone else.....

I can't tell you how to recognise if your pouch is stretched but I am going to tell you not to worry. Your stomach and pouch are a lot higher than you think. Closer to your chest than where you traditionally think of your stomach as being.

If you have ever been stuck you know where you get that awful pain - in the centre of the chest between the breasts. Think of that as where your stoma is so the pouch is sitting just above there and the rest of your stomach just below.
