  1. Gastro-gastric fistula

    JanineB1977 posted a topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
    Help! I am 5 months post RNY. I had band to RNY revision and was laced with complications (leaking, feeding tube, fistuals, PICC line etc). I have a remaining gastro-gastric fistula which is not closing with conservative (wait and see) approaches. I have lost about 116lbs in 5 months. Still 80lbs from goal weight. I see from a medscape article there are many approaches to deal with fistuals. My question to those with gastro-gastric fistuals: 1) Did you have the fistula repaired? If so, by what method? 2) Has anyone lived sucessfully with the fistula and maintained weight loss? My fear is after going through this the fistula will stretch and I will lose the restriction effect of the RNY. Please share your stories with me! Best, Janine
