Questions About New Fobi Pouch Revision
I had my surgery 5/2004 and lost about 110 lbs. Could not get to my goal. It has been a long while but I have just started to eat a little bit more and have gained about 8-11 lbs. back. There is a Doctor in Atlanta who specializes in a Fobi - Pouch or Revision for WLS patients who cannot get to their goal. The cost is about 4000-5000 and I am trying to find out if anyone else has had this. !!!!!!
Hi Lisa,
I had the vertical band gastric bypass...if not identical to the fobi pouch...very similar. I had my surgery done 5-11-2004 and have gone from 267 to 141. I'm 5'7. It's worked absolutely great for me! My Dr. actually was trained by I believe the same Dr. that perfect ed the fobi pouch..If I'm not mistaken...it's been awhile. If you would like any other information...feel free to shoot me a note! I realize it's been a while since you posted this...I hope you've already found the information you were looking for. Best of luck to you & take care! Kathleen
