I Thought It Was Acid Reflux..now I Am In The Hospital :(

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.
