Are you sure its not a staple line disrutpion...SLD? Did you have xrays or an upper GI that showed this? You may need a revision. Was it your wls surgeon? I would talk to the doc alittle more and ask questions on exactly what the problem is, and how to correct it. Rosemary

If you were not transected (meaning, if your pouch was only stapled, and not cut away, from your remainder stomach), it is possible to develop a staple-line disruption. This is where the food creates a channel around the staple-line from the pouch to the remainder. Not only is your capacity increased, but your ability to feel "full" is also minimized. If you are not at your goal, you might want to get a second opinion as to havin the problem corrected (this is known as a "revision" and is a procedure that many-- but not all-- skilled laparascopic surgeons throughout the county can do).

Its called a fistula. Yes it can happen. We had one lady in our group this happened to .. Our surgeon surgically fixed it.
