I hope all works out for you, and that you have a speedy recovery your in good hands!!!!

Hi Sherri, I just had the surgery on 1/30/04. The Fobi was the best option for me because I'm only doing this surgery once and I want to stay at one weight for the rest of my life. What they tell you is that a regular RNY stomach pouch can be stretched by overeating over a period of 10 years. Who wants that? The way I see is the optimal way to go, but it doesn't mean that I'm going to have to do less work to maintian it. Basicially, a year from now, I will only be able to eat as much as I did after surgery. My Fobi Pouch can't stretch because I have a band around it that will not slip. It's sort of like have a combination lap band and RNY. Feel free to email me directly. Angela W.

restin on the best,
