Guest guest Posted June 29, 2003 Report Share Posted June 29, 2003 The Fobi Pouch is made with a silastic band around the stoma to prevent stretching. It just seems that most surgeons are reluctant to leave something like that permanently in the body. This is curious, because it is routinely done with the VBG.
