Well a week after surgery, I started to have signs of acid reflux. My chest was burning and food felt like it was coming up. Then it became worse. Nothing wouldn’t stay down, not even liquids. I started to become dehydrated and went to the hospital.

I found out via a UGI that after I would drink or eat, that it would just sit in my stomach. It’s like my stomach is plugged right at the bottom, letting nothing pass into my intestines. They are not sure if it’s a stricture or something is stuck. Today I am going to have an Upper GI Endoscopy done and they are hoping they can use this procedure to remove the stricture or stretch that area out so food can pass. If not, then the next two options are another surgery to try to open the area by cutting it or a Gastric Bypass. Let’s just say the latter option is a no go, I rather live on a IV then have a Gastric Bypass. Please pray for me and I will keep you all posted.

Sending much prayer your way!

I'll be keeping you in my prayers. If you had your procedure today, did you find out anything?

Sending prayers you way, Delta. We'll speak through faith that it's just swelling and it will resolve itself quickly. Please keep us posted.

Praying for a simple fix!

Prayers for healing and comfort during this uncertain time. Please keep us posted.

Thank you all for the well wishes and prayers!! HE heard them and I am being discharged today . I was told that the Upper GI showed that the tip of my stomach had fold over. This supposedly happended from how my stomach is shaped and over time it healed itself over the bottom part, forming a "plug," This explained the throwing up, which was a result of me eating and food sitting in my stomach and not being able to pass through my intestines. Right now they told me I need to stick to the mushie diet and ensure I am eating three times a day. I was also told that if it happens again, I may need a small sugery where they go in and make an incision, but as of now the problem is solved and I am good to go!

Good news! I bet you'll be glad to get home and get this behind you. Hopefully, there will be no need for anything further.

Thankful that you'll be okay! I'm glad there was no need to revise to another surgery.

Speedy healing, and I hope you won't have an issue again in the future,
