Does anyone know the treatment for a stoma that s too hig?

I haven't posted for a while as I've had nothing new to say but I have officially moved from slow loser to 'no' loser.

The RNY just hasn't worked for me and yesterday, my surgeon says that he thinks my stoma is too big and therefore food is going straight down my throat and into the intestine. I

t's nice to have an answer but I have no options for treatment as yet as they need to consult further.

Does anyone know what the possible treatments might be? Has anyone else had this situation?

recommend checking the duodenal switch information. I believe the failed RNY patients go for the switch.
