STOMAPHYX

I think we will all be firt in that line Maureen. I included and I haven't had it done yet. I am scared after I have a baby (if I do) that it will all come back. or that I will get sick again (like I am now) and not be able to work out. I think it's a normal fear we have. But I also know that I will do anything in my power not to gain it back after I have it done.

Hi, I thought I would say something to clarify why many people are seeking this revision.  I have a friend who is having this procedure in October with a doctor in Long Island.  Her problem (and from what her doctor tells her, 90% of his patients problem)  is not that they stretched their pouches from over eating, but the Stoma is very wide and the food does not stay in the pouch to keep the full feeling.  Her procedure does not need to reduce the pouch size, but only to reduce the Stoma opening to help the food remain in the pouch longer.  Not sure if that answers your question, but this is what I was led to believe.
