Hello! Has anyone delt with a fistula of their pouch into the old stomach? I just found out I have one, and I was wondering what others have done. Did you get it repaired or leave it alone? Thanks for reading and responding!

I haven't had that, but there have been several who did, and they needed them repaired. Sometimes they repair the fistula, and sometimes they also remove all or part of the remnant stomach.

This would be a great time to get a couple of opinions from barbaric surgeons, and see what they say. If they recommend surgery, ask how many of these they've done.

Let us know how it goes.

That may be an auto-correct error but it's also kind of funny.

ha ha - I noticed that right away, too! Perfect auto-correct, if in fact that's what it was!

Oops. I read it twice before I saw what you meant.

I'm blaming autocorrect.
