Did your surgeon indicate why this occurs?

I have not had this personally.  So I am curious how it happens.  If it can be avoided, if so how?

Thanks,

Judy

Same questions here! :)

good luck to you, i cant say i know anything about your surgery but i am having issues but the other end, mine are where the intestine was reattached. Waiting  for surgeon to get back from vacay to let me know what the heck is going on, good luck to you, Denise

I don't have any experience with a stretched stoma, but I have to say that the stretched stoma on its own is not wholly responsible for lack of weight loss.  If you continued measuring/limiting portion sizes, the size of the stoma would not matter that much.  Yes, it allows the food to exit the pouch more quickly (and therefore you would be hungry sooner), but the stoma is not wholly to blame.  Whether you will lose weight after the surgery depends more on what and how much you eat than anything your surgeon will do.

I completely agree Lora! Thanks for your feedback!

Unfortunately, I don't believe this revision has a great success rate - if you Google Stomaphyx or Rose procedure, you'll find out what he's going to do (from your description, I'd guess the Rose).

Good luck and I hope you are a success!

Holy cow, see that is why i lurk here, i had no clue that is what will be done to her, I also have not heard  a good rate # for either, thanks, Kim, :). denise   10 years out and  still learning:)
