It is the build up of scar tissue that prevents you from getting any

food or liquid through. They say it usually happens during the

healing process, like 3-6 months after surgery, but 8 years wow.

But, from what I did read, it sounds like it is a restriction from a build up

After eight years I am having stoma stenosis. Anyone out there with

any such problems? I am having a hard time getting another doctor to

see me. My dr. retired with no referral. Other bariatric surgeons

Appreciate any answers.
