Just wondering if you have looked into the StomaphyX procedure.  I think it is where they staple the inside of the pouch to make it smaller.  It can be done almost on an outpatient basis.  It hasn't truly been proven (long term weightloss), but it is FDA approved.  Just one idea.  Brian  PS They may call it the rose procedure.

Hi Brian, Yes, I have looked into the StomaphyX proceedure, but it's so new there's little real information about how effective it would be for me. One of the problems I have to deal with is that my stomach pouch drains very quickly, so any proceedure I consider should address that problem, which I don't think StomaphyX does. Kerry
