What causes a pouch from a gastric bypass to stretch and what can be done to correct it?

The pouch stretches if someone overeats. You have to listen to your stomach (or your pouch) and stop eating when you're no longer hungry. If you keep eating when you're not hungry or when you're full, the pouch will stretch. If this has occurred, talk to your doctor about options. They may put you on a liquid diet until your stomach tightens back up.
