Stomaphyx!---? :)

 Are you referring to Gastric bypass RNY? Because if you are there are more options than stomaphyx or Rose. I am assuming you are self-paying bc the majority of insurance companies do not cover those procedures. You have plenty more options such as DS, BOB, revision of original RNY, etc...If I were you I would not proceed with your surgery on Monday. You really have more options that will actually work. 

Mainly a streched stoma.  If you are feeling hungry all the time and within 15-30 minutes after eating most likely you have a streched stoma.  A Stomafyx does not  fix a streched stoma it will only decrease your pouch size AND can stretch out again if you are not compliant with what you eat, how much you eat and carbonated drinks.  There are many options for RNY Gastric Bypass revisions.  After much research through various bariatric centers, I found the most succesful is the band over bypass (BOB) and it is lap band. 

 Where did you read a BOB is the most successful? Bands have a high risk of being revised to another surgery.

Im sorry - I am just not understand what you are saying.
Yes - my stoma has stretched - thats why i can consume more & dont get/recognize  that "full feeling" anymore. But the stomaphyx procedure reduces the size of the stretched stoma by creating those pleates - thus decreasing the stoma pouch size.
Yes - i do realize the re-sized stoma can stretch out again if/when patients dont comply w/ the eating regimen (as with the original procedure) which is why its so important that i comply w/ the diet this time.
I am not willing to opt for another type of WLS for a couple of reasons. 1) my surgical center doesnt offer anything else & I want to stick w/ them (especially since Stanford is one of the best in the country) & 2) those other procedures are not for "me" - which is why i initially chose the GBS.
Ive done a lot of research on revisions for the GBS (including talking to many Drs & specialists at different institutions) & the ONLY options available are the stomaphyx or rose. Switchig to a different type of procedure (the DS or lap or "BOB - ??) are NOT viable/ safe/ recommended options.
Rose isnt offered by Stanford. They do the stomaphyx - so thats my only "option".

Please see the following statement about the Stomafyx procedure.

In the StomaphyX procedure, the surgeon creates the folds using a special device that suctions the skin fold in then inserts an H-shaped fastener to hold the fold in place.

Due to the limitations caused by the device, StomaphyX can only be used to reduce pouch size – it cannot be used to shrink the stoma (see our StomaphyX Procedure page for more information).

However, by strategically placing the folds, the surgeon can shrink the diameter of the stomach thereby slowing the food that passes through.

This information can be found on the following web page http://www.bariatric-surgery-source.com/gastric-bypass-revis ion.html .  I'm surprised that you were told that this is the only procedure you can have done as you will see on this webpage there are 5 to choose from for RNY revision.  It sounds like this is what your doctor has recommended for you and they know you and your situation the best.  Please let me know how it works out for you as I am opting for the band over bypass.  Best of luck to you Monday!

Are you self-pay?

Negative - I am not self paying. This is being covered by my insu.

I haven't read anything good about that procedure or the ROSE so that is all I can tell you.

 While I disagree with 99% of what DSers say about revisions and am anti-DS (for me), I do agree 1000000% with everyone here that you should NOT revise to a Stomaphyx or a ROSE.  THEY DO NOT WORK. I believe, Dr. Roslin took part in the clinical trial and I asked him about these when I was researching my revision and he said they were pretty much uselesss. Now, depending on whether you had an Open RNY or a Lap, you may have issues revising to a DS but its still an option with a qualified, experienced surgeron. Also, you can revise the RNY, you can do a BOB (as I have done) or you may even be able to do a sleeve.  

PLEASE call your surgeon and post-pone your surgery. Based on your answers to the questions being asked of you on this board, I feel as though you don't know the full story.  I also worry about your insurance bc I agree with the other poster who said you may not be fully covered bc I dont know many insurances you cover the Stompahyx.

Thanks everyone.
I sincerely appreciate the input & open dialog.
Im pretty set on moving forward w/ the procedure but i will follow up & ensure that my insu is covering this in full. I was told they were - but there's always room for mistakes which is what I DONT need in something like this.

Best,
Candace
