I thought I had roux en y?

I had a roux en y gastric bypass but they also use a silastic ring to control emptying and stretching of the pouch. no one said anything about a fobi pouch. is what i have considered a fobi pouch? i think i just have roux en y with a silastic ring.

I think that this is the same thing. Per my MD, Dr. Fobi pioneered the use of the silastic ring at the stoma ( opening of the pouch to new small intestine connection) hence the name. I am having the Lap RNy w/ Silastic ring on 11/ 18/ How has your post-op recovery been?

The ring is the only thing that differenciates the Fobi Pouch from RNY. It's just a glorified RNY
