Michigan Medical PC's Bariatric Surgery program does a procedure they cal "Sclerotherapy". Read about it here: http://www.mmpc.com/specialties/cfhe/serv/bariatric/sclero It basically involves an outpatient procedure involving injecting an irritant around the opening from the pouch to the intestines. The body then reacts to the irritant by constricting (decreasing) the opening. I haven't had it done myself but have heard from several that it worked for them! Good Luck!! Chip
