Question Pouch

Tracy:

From what you've posted, my only concern would be that something went amiss with your pouch. Immediately after surgery, your pouch is supposed to be smaller than a golf ball. If you can eat 1/2 cup of food at three weeks post-op, it may be because something is wrong with your pouch size. Depending on how your surgeon chose to create your pouch, you might have a staple line leak. If you're concerned, I would suggest checking with your surgeon to rule out a complication. You don't want to get too far down the road and find out your pouch has been compromised.

Good luck with your journey.
