Guest guest Posted August 1, 2000 Report Share Posted August 1, 2000 I have a question regarding pouch size for someone who is a year post-op. I know that surgeons make pouches at all different sizes. Is there a common size for a regular RNY proximal. I was told at the time of surgery that my pouch was 1 oz. But now they are saying that it was really 1/2 oz. But now it's been a year, the swelling has gone down, we are able to eat more, what size should the pouch be? And what size should be too large?
