Any fix for Stoma dilation after RNY??

I need some help. I had RNY 7/25/04 and lost 40 lbs. initially...and that is all. I noticed my portion sizes were larger than they should be early on and I have never had dumping syndrome. An upper GI in Jan. showed the small bowel acting as a reservoir for the food. I suspect the stoma is dilated making the pouch ineffective for portion control. An EGD scope would confirm the problem, but I have not had that at this point. Has anyone else had this happen, and is there a solution? I'm thankful for the 40 lb. loss, but I still need to lose 75 - 85 pounds. My surgery was "open", my husband had lap one month prior. He's doing great, lost from 303 to 185 lbs. and still has wonderful portion control. Please respond if you have any suggestions?? Thanks in advance!!
