Hello Everyone
I already put this topic on Back on Track but I dont think I was suppose to do that there. Oh well, I know I can here. I have a question for anyone who may have seen on tv maybe Wed about a woman who had what I think is called a revision. she had it done at Northwestern hospital in Chicago. They made her stomach even smaller because it stretched and she had gained a lot of wt back after WLS. Two months after having this procedure done she had lost 35lb of her regained wt. after WLS. Anyone who saw it or knows anything about it please let me know. thanks Susan T.

It is called stomaphyx and it creates pleates in the stomach to reduce the size. and it is done through the throat like an endoscopy It is only done if you have had weight loss surgery already and have "stretched' ,your pouch. You can look it up on the internet and see videos etc..it is new so no long term studies are out yet.
