Guest guest Posted June 29, 2003 Report Share Posted June 29, 2003 Cindy; Did your weight loss improve a great deal after the proximal? My pouch is " slightly stretched " and the stoma stretched as well. Had a revision last year from a proximal to a distal RNY. While they were not able to rebuild my pouch (horizontal pouch) they were able to place a silastic band around my stoma to correct the size. What a different having a smaller stoma made. Don't know how many surgeons are using silastic bands but it worked for me.
