Surgically making a stoma smaller is that possible?

I have tried the library and unable to find the answer. I am a 15 year gastric bypass that regained weight. In my search for a revision, I have discovered that the opening at my stomach and intestines is to large. It was originally made 11, now it is a 20 and the food is literally going through the stomach and to the intestins. My pouch is still after 15 years 3ozs. I do not think I stretched it but a surgery after the bypass involving my intestines and reconnecting changed the size. Since that surgery I started to eat more due to hunger and gained steadly regardless of attempts to lose. So I am now trying to find out if Surgeons can in fact make that opening smaller or reconnect to the intestines to another portion of the stomach and close that opening. Any input would be appreciated. I have not talk to my Surgeon yet, the Endoscopy was just performed yesterday.
