Endoscopic Apollo Stitch Revision???

So, it's been quite a while since I've posted here. A lot has been going on
with me, so I just haven't been on here, but I remember lots of help and 
opinions from folks, some good, some bad, but all informative in one way or 
another.
Well, I had my RNY surgery on Nov 1, 2005, just over 8 years ago. 
In the past year, I've gained back 50 lbs or so. I thought it was from 
having a hysterectomy, but I was wrong. 
Turns out, with my 8th dialation, that the opening from my pouch to the
intestines, had expanded from about 8-10mm to 25mm or so. What that caused
was the lack of feeling full after a small meal. Then we put bad habits back
as I wasn't feeling full.
this leads to the reason why I'm posting here.
I am scheduled to have an endoscopic stitch (Apollo Stitch) on the 17th of this
month to close down the enlarged opening.
I am told that it is still not widely used, and the success rate is good so far, 
but I can't find much more, other than that it is mostly done in a facility
in Boston. Heck, we aren't even sure the insurance will cover it at this point.
So, I'm wondering if anyone here has had this procedure, and if it was successful 
for you. 
Thank you for your time in reading this, and if you have any opinions or 
stories, those are appreciated as well.

I honestly haven't heard one good result from this and being on the board for a long time I am sure I would of.  This procedure, like the ROSE and Stomaphix procedure don't seem to be the cure that people hope for.  Have you asked your surgeon for the long term stats on this? The only things that I have heard that can work is a complete revision of the pouch or a revision to a sleeve, which is what I would opt for if possible.  This is a lot bigger of a surgery but I have heard of people doing good with them.  Whatever you do stay away from the lap band.  It doesn't have a good track record either and while some people with a BOB (band over bypass) have gone on to do good it can cause more problems.
