Large stoma syndrome

Hi Everyone: What exactly is a large stoma syndrome. I just read a heartbreaking post of a woman who had one. It must be your worst nightmare, after life-threating complications. I feel so fortunate, because at 3 months out I am still not hungry. It seems as if this woman never had a chance. She was able to eat almost anything right away. When my doctor gave me a list of complications to sign before surgery, he said there is a 1-2% chance of no weight loss, but never mentioned this complication specifically. In the lady's profile, it mentions as more people have WLS, this complication will show up more often. Anyone ever hear about this?
