Actually, the stoma is the hole going into the small intestine.

There's also Stomaphyx.

I do not, but honestly when I watched a CG video about it and it looked kinda dangerous to me. A lot of chance for infection it seems like.

I had my RNy on Nov 1 2007 at 378.  I am now 215.  I got down to 199 and have slowly crept up.  I am always hungry now.  My insurnace did not pay for the original surgery either!

Mark Pleatman in Detroit does the stomaphyX.

He did my sleeve....excellent surgeon, IMHO.

Good luck to you!

From what I understand, it's not covered by insurance, and doesn't work.

I have yet to hear of anyone who got significant, lasting results from this procedure.
