Is it possible to reshrink your pouch tool 4 yrs. post op?

I had gastric bypass surgery, with stapling, in August of 1998. My weight was 450 before surgery. After one full year post op, I got down to 350. I have reverted back to my old eating habits of eating pizza, chocolate, drinking soda, etc. It is now July 2002 and I weigh 374. I saw a posting about the oregon center article on the lady who reshrunk her pouch 16 yrs. post op, but I was unable to pull up the article. I kept getting a message saying it was no longer on the website couldn't be found. I know for a fact that I do not have any staple line disruptions, so would someone please give me some guidance or tell me of any links and articles on how to retrain my pouch tool. Any advice would be very appreciated, I would at least like to get down to a size 16/18 or weigh 200.
