Guest guest Posted October 16, 2002 Report Share Posted October 16, 2002 I would not worry about the size of my pouch. Dr. Flanagan followed patients for 10 years measuring their pouch growth and weight loss success or lack there of. He found the the pouch stretches from 3-8 ounces. He found that there was no correlation between the size of the pouch and the success of the surgery. Patients with an 8 ounce pouch were just as likely to lose weight and keep it off and a 3 oz patient. It seems that it is not the size of the pouch, but how it is used that makes the difference.
