      Over time, stretching of the stomach may occur. No one has clearly documented that this really happens. It is known that weight loss is not related to pouch size or the size of the connection between the stomach and small intestine. It has been clearly shown that subsequent operations to reduce the size of large pouches or make the connection smaller do not result in further weight loss.
