Has there been any information available on the duration of the stoma tightening? I am in the Restore trial but I haven't heard of any people talking about long term results. Do the holding sutures last.?....fail?....has anyone heard?
Hi Pepsi98
How did your procedure go? How is it feeling now?
I had RNY in 1999 and have now gained essentially all that I lost. :-(
I just found out about Stomaphix, and I think I want it.
Any info you can share will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
I haven't has this done, but I have been reading about the StomaphyX and some websites said the tracks can be re-tightened, adjusted, or removed as much as necessary. They are made of polyethyline, so they last forever.

I am not so sure about that , If you over eat - you can still stretch and possible pop one. I have heard htey are like the little plastic pieces that hold tags on clothes ?? I could be wrong - Ask Dr Schlesinger.. Seeing he does this procedure weekly.
