Question:
what is the new non-invasive surgery for expanded pouches?

My pouch has expanded over the years and I hear there is a new non-invasive procedure down the throat that the surgeon can place new staples to make it smaller again. Does anyone know what this is called?    — Maret M. (posted on January 15, 2009)

its called Stomayx and I know a lady who had the procedure and she said it did not help at all and that she had wasted 9,000.00 doing it she was 5 years post op from a rny. I have not had it done and i had the gastric sleeve 19 months ago. If you have any other questions, i can help you with I will try. [email protected]

Check this out. I am not sure if they are using this for stretched pouches, but it does sound like it could be. http://www.wlshelp.com/toga-weight-loss.html

The local news had a report on it just this week. Is supposedly effective for stretched pouches after RNY and done endoscopically.
