Is it possible to stretch the stomach a month after gastric plication surgery?

kayleighrawlings
I had a gastric plication done in July 2014 and a month or so later i felt increasingly that the surgery had not worked. I had a Barium Swallow and the results showed that my stomach was its original size. The clinic have told me I have stretched my stomach but I do not believe this. Is it possible to do so? the largest meal during this time being x2 weetabix. Thanks in advance.
