July Gastric Bypass?
Good to hear you made it out! He meant rupturing the staple line before it has healed. It's pretty rare, but serious enough to be 100% fatal if not treated fast enough with emergency surgery. Basically, he said to stop drinking if I get a feeling like bread is stuck in my throat. Take small sips, and wait about 5 seconds between sips to see if I get any "I'm full" feedback before taking the next sip. Amazing to know cause my moms been pushing the liquids and sometimes when i drink i feel like my stomach is going to explodeee
