Does the stomach really stretch out post VSG?

I have no affiliation with this doctor but his video really answers this question. http://drmatthewweiner.com/how-to-prevent-your-stomach-from-stretching-after-weight-loss-surgery/

    @loveshoe My dietician recommended this surgeons videos. He seems pretty knowledgeable. LOTS of good advice.

    I love Dr. Werner’s videos. They really helped me through my preop and decision phases.

    I didn't watch the video but from personal experience, once I healed post surgery I had a bit more capacity, which is to be expected, and at over 4 years out I feel I still have most of the restriction I had in the beginning. Different foods will fill me up differently though, such as solid protein like meat vs. a softer protein like yogurt. The solid protein for sure makes me feel fuller.
