I was sleeved on 3-20 and was progressing ok until about 3-4 weeks ago. I developed a stricture but I waited almost a week before I went to the doctor because I thought it was my reflux no longer responding to my medication. My surgeon did an endoscopy and dialated my esophagus with a balloon, but 2 days later it had closed back up! I retuned to the doctor a few days later and I was admitted to the hospital for dehydration and to have an emergency endoscopy with stent placement. I spent 5 days in the hospital and even though I'm home I feel miserable. I'm constantly nauseous and everything hurts from the pressure of the stent. Is there anyone that has been through this or something similar? I wanted to lose weight, but not like this. There's a big part of me that regrets the surgery as much as I try not to. Please someone tell me it gets easier!

Haven't had this experience, but wanted to say that I hope things improve for you soon! Hang in there!

Prayers hope all gets better soon.

I'm wondering if this is what's going on with me now... Going for an endoscopy tomorrow.
