Well come to find out yesterday, it's not antacid! One of the pouches that was sew shut has came unsown! So surgery is scheduled for Monday! Thanks for the response tho!

I had my surgery gastric bypass April 3,2012 I started at 257lbs as of last know weigh in I was 164 9 months later! This is the first real problem ( not sure if related to bypass or not still researching) since surgery! I am having pains all threw my stomach area ( from below breast but above lower abdomen ) but when pain gets really intense it goes up and down my back! I'm very nauseous , can hardly eat or drink! At first dr thought it could be insides tangled up, but after CT scan they are thinking that I have antacid built up on stomach that is not being used! Has anyone had any problems like this! I see my primary dr tomorrow and no telling what she gunna want to run! Can anyone give any insight?

You need to think long and hard before you get this done. I've seen several people who got the Fobi to start with who've had to have emergency revisions because of problems the silastic ring caused. Have you looked into getting revised to the DS? The DS has the very best long-term, maintained weight-loss stats, period.

I was searching the site for my Doctor Dr. Jean-Baptiste, and came across this Fobi pouch. what is it? and how long would you need to be out of work? I am very interested in this procedure because I had loss lots of weight and looked and felt wonderful and would like to have it done again.
