QUESTION, NEED AN ANSWER PLEASE.

When you stoma is stretched you have you pouch and your intesting to fill, so you can eat way more than you should be able to.  Stomaphyx maybe a good option if you have 50 or less pounds to lose.

Deanne Thank you so much for the help. I might just look into the stomaphyx. I really appreciate you taking the time to reply to my post. Have a wonderful day. Hugs Jodi

Hi  My Gastro doc did the upper GI and EGD and said my stoma was 7.8cm and my pouch was 10.2 X 5.1 cm.  I am going for my EVAL for the ROSE trial on Tues and another Upper GI Series and EGD on the 31st if they are correct and my stoma and pouch has stretched as much as they say it has then I iwll be scheduled for the ROSE ...this is where they tighten the Stoma and the Pouch endoscopically ......
