my opinion....... for what it's worth
I think if she tried the pouch rules for a couple of weeks, she might be closer to knowing whether or not she needs a revision. Plus it would be extra ammunition for getting the surgery approved. JMHO, of course.
That said, many surgeons used a different part of the stomach to create the pouch seven years ago--they are now using part of the stomach that's less susceptible to stretching. She might also have just stretched her anastamosis, where the intestine and the pouch are hooked together, making it easier to eat more and faster. Lots of possible answers.
