Have you heard of having the stoma cauterized to scar so that it will shrink?

Hi, I posted before because my weight loss seems VERY slow, I am hungry & can eat ALOT! I have only lost 15 lbs since my surgery, which was more than 3 months ago. Many of you replied (thank you!)& said I should see my surgeon, so I did. He said nothing was wrong, but did send me for an upper GI & guess what? The barium went straight through me! So I have an overly large stoma. The folks who work at my weight loss clinic told me they had read on the net about having the stoma cauterized to scar it so that it will shrink, but they were unable to find the link. Have any of you heard about this? Do you have a link or info about how I can find out more? Many thanks, Suzanna
