Stoma size at 6 years post RNY
I was wonderfuing the typical or expected size of the stoma after 6 yars post RNY? Mine was precisely measured at 1.76cm and my pouch was measured at 3cm by 5cm about 2 months ago? Does this sound about average for my time frame? I initially lost 255 pounds, but have gained back around 95-100 pounds and am lookign at a possible revision, but dont know where to turn. I have been really trying to be compliant, but I am constantly hungry and suffer from late dumping syndrome. Does anyone know the options for revisions? Thanks.
I am seeing Dr Schumacher in Ketterin Med Center and he is doing my revision he will listen to his patients needs and address them. I am having Lap Over RNY with a Botox Stoma fill. My problem is my Stoma is dialated to the size of a quarter. My mom is having just the Botox fill . He is having a clinical study for the Botox fill going on. How ever he will need to know your prefered dieting habits like I like to have lots of mini meals during the day like when we were on liquids and soft foods i dont like to be hungry I prefer to eat when I have to only. My mom is the same. Think about what you feel most confortable with eating and the monts and deside weather you was restrictive or more malobsorbtion. I need restrictive. Everyone is an individual if you want I can give you his name address and phone #.
I went to see my surgeon after my UGI and the results say my pouch is strecthed - this is what is says "gastric chamber measures 8.3 cm, transverse dimension 7.6 cm and 7.4 cm in maximum AP dimension-immediate emptying of the opacified stomach into the small intestine" and this is just 27 months out....
