Overstitch Revision?
I had RNY in 2012, lost 103lbs. I regained to 214 and maintained that until I had my two children. Now I'm at 243. I recently had an EGD done to assess for a fistula, because no matter what I do I just cannot lose the weight I've regained. Well, there was no fistula and my pouch has not stretched, but my stoma has completely widened, I have no restriction anymore. My surgeon just recommended me for the overstitch procedure however he doesn't do it nor could he give me the name of a surgeon who does. I didn't think finding a surgeon to do this would be so difficult. I'm in the Buffalo, NY area. Can anyone offer me a physician that's anywhere near me? Even a few hours drive is fine.
Thank you to anyone who can help!

Have you been able to find one? I can't think of an option besides calling around. I would think NY would have something being more urban but you might need to travel if you want this. I have read varying things about the over stitch procedure. I wish you the best
