So I developed a stricture that was dialated on Thursday and by Saturday it had closed back up. My surgeon admitted me today because I'm severely dehydrated and he'll do another endoscopy and put a stent in. I haven't been able to eat any food for the past 2 weeks. I'm hoping this does the trick and I can actually eat again. (I'm 8 weeks tomorrow.) I'm losing weight, but this isn't the way I wanted to do it! Has anyone else had a stent put in for a stricture? How was it? How long were you able to have it in? I'm feeling really scared and so frustrated. I'm thankful that I did not develop a leak, but I never anticipated this type of complication. It sucks! I have not been able to reach the point of being happy I got my sleeve because of all of this. I would kill to eat a salad!

Awe I hope you can eat soon enough.

Keep us posted on how it goes. So sorry you are going through this. Best of luck to you. Take care!

I hope someone posts that can help you with what to expect . . .

Thank you! I hope someone that has gone through something similar posts, too. I don't know where else to get advice from. No one I know has had WLS.

Good luck to you JennyBeth!
