Complications--Vent

Hey guys. So, some of you know and some don't but I have had complications since surgery, which was August 13th. It boils down to my lower esophagus is very narrow. I have a difficult time getting anything that is not liquid down and I am constantly feeling nauseous. As a result, I have had 3 stents placed and botox injected into my esophagus as well as numerous other tests and hospital stays. I began feeling nauseous again about 2 weeks ago and have been in contact with the GI dr following my case. I just got off the phone with him and he wants to do another dialation or stent placement tomorrow or Thursday. He also wants me to discuss with my surgeon the possibility of converting my sleeve to a bypass (which my surgeon and his team have discussed briefly in the past.) I guess I'm just venting and want to feel better. If anyone has any advice or have heard of converting to a bypass, please let me know. Thanks.

WOW, I didn't even know this was a possible complication. How did this happen? How does doing the bypass help? I'd be sooooooooooo frustrated right now if I was you. I mean I refused WLS for the past 20 years because I didn't want a bypass I'd be beyond disappointed if I wound up having to have one anyway. Did the doctor give you details as to exactly what caused this? I'm sorry I don't have any advice :(
