Has anyone had a large stoma fixed?

I have always been able to drink and eat more then I should and have lost very slowly since going off the liquid diet. I am suppose to have a 5cc stomach but can eat regular small meals and could pretty much from the time I could begin eating regular food. I have only lost 54 pounds in 9 months. I told the DR I felt I could eat to much but he said as long as I never take more than 7 bites at a meal I'll be fine. In other words right back to diet and exercise so why did I have a $40,000 surgery. He seems unwilling to even check out the problem. Has anyone gone to another Dr to get something like this fixed? I have never vomited from day one and can eat any food and take reqular pills etc. Someone I know just had the same surgery from the same center and she has lost 60 pounds in 7 weeks. She can not eat but a couple of ounces at a time. I feel ripped off she had the surgery I thought I was getting!
