      yes it does…you can think about the stomach like a balloon…once it is new it is quite small; when you blow in it, it increases in size and then if you let the air out it does not go back to the original size…the stomach is very similar and we can stretch by eating a lot of food over the years and it will expand….if we then reduce the food intake, the stomach will reduce in size but it will take time….
