What would you do?

I recently found out that I have a stoma that is "wide-open". This could be a big reason why I haven't lost any weight since 1 year, and have now gained 16+ pounds back. My surgeon says there is a new technique out there that can tighten the stoma. But he doesn't do it, he would refer me to doctor that does. I've always read (here) that nothing can be done if you have a large stoma. I've been beating myself up mentally for 6 months now (that I'm a failure). I would really like to do something to help improve my situation because I am not suceeding in "dieting" at all. Read my profile for more details. Thanks!
