Hi - I did a little googling and found that it is a type of stricture in your stomach tube. Sounds like your may be minor? Do you have vomiting issues? An example in the most legible language I could find from a website (https://www.southwestsurgery.com.au/sleeve-gastrectomy/complications-of-laparoscopic-sleeve-gastrectomy) discussion possible complications: "Stricture (narrowing) of the gastric tube Stricture formation (narrowing) can occur in sleeve patients, and most commonly presents itself in a later phase after the surgery. Common symptoms include food intolerance, or nausea and vomiting. Narrowing can occur due to removing too much of the stomach, twisting or kinking at the angle of the stomach (incisura) or scarring related to inflammation. Endoscopic dilation of the narrowing with a balloon tend to help the patients however, this often need to be repeated. In extreme cases reoperation is needed often involving performing a gastric bypass operation. Prevention is the key to eliminate this problem with proper surgical technique, leaving ample of room near the angle of the stomach, proper use of the sizing tube, and the prevention of kinks or twist in the gastric sleeve by suturing the omentum back to the entire staple line."

I've heard dive offices make you but tier protein powders/shakes. Ask if that is a requirement or if you can just simply buy them on your own. Ugh. Buy their *

I'm 1 1/2 weeks post op (full liquids) and I am able to eat about a 1/2 cup of food. Just made a serving of cream of wheat, could only eat half. As for my full sensation, I still learning it. I feel "topped out" and if I eat too much, I feel it try and slide back up. Not nauseated, just sliding up. I have to sit up really straight or stand for a while for the sensation to pass.

Oh thank goodness. I thought there was something wrong with me because everything was going down so easy! Though today, my shakes are trying to creep up my throat, maybe I'm swelling or something. But my energy is pretty good, I'm stir crazy actually. Sent from my SM-N910T3 using the BariatricPal App
