I'm a newby to this. But curious about Stomaphyx...
Hello everyone!
Here's a little about me. 35. Open Roux -en-y in 2003. Lost back then 120 lbs. I've been struggling ALOT with my weight. I've gained back almost 50lbs. I am NOT happy. When I started to see the weight gain, I started to workout more than I was immediately after my surgery (2 hrs EVERYDAY). But still I started gaining and gaining. It's depressing to see that all, that I went through to get there now is catching up. I had started to dringk diet cola again. But now I've majorly cut back (maybe 1-2 a week). I've started to do the protein shakes every morning, soup/salad for lunch, etc. Did this for several months and NOTHING.Yes I have strayed from my new way of life. But this is a vicious circle. In other words I've tried everything I can think of. But with the weight gain. I feel tired more often. I see I don't have the same energy... I am NOT happy with myself. This is why I am considering the Stomaphyx. I would like to know. With this method has anybody REloose the weight gained after the initial surgery and kept on loosing to finaly reach your goals? I'm 5'0. My "normal" weight should be 100-115. Can this be possible or am i daydreaming?

Thank you for your response. Yes. I had thought about the lap band. I am just a little hesitant.
I have heard that even done as the primary weight loss tool., it can slip off. And I am a little affraid because I already had R-N-Y and the stomach is not the same.... I need to do research. Someone else replied about endoscopy Sclerotherapy so I am going to research that as well. I am not going to jump in anything without researching. Thank you again.

I had Stomaphyx on June 30th. Everyone is different. I went into this wanting to make sure this worked for me. I have followed my doctor's orders to the T. No pop, small meals, high protein. I feel great and have lost 39 pounds to date. It has been successful for me. It is a choice as to what works for you.
Hello!
I don't know much about Stomaphyx, other then my doctor says it doesn't really work. I had Endoscopic Sclerotherapy and so far I love it! I feel full a lot longer and I am down 5 pounds that I know of. I get my second one soon, I can't wait!
You might want to research that one instead of the Stomaphyx. Its like the same thing, except with the Sclerotherapy, there is NO cutting, stapling or sutures!
Good luck with whatever you decide!
