Hi everyone,

I am almost 6 weeks post op and still struggling to keep mushy food and sometimes liquids down. I can barely keep down 1/4 cup of my mushy foods and some days I can't keep down fluids. I spoke to my doctor and he wants to do a endoscope and "stretch" my stomach a bit because he thinks that is the problem with the vomiting. I am okay with the scope, but concerned about having my stomach "stretched". Has anyone had these procedures done? And what if any results did you have afterwards? I am a bit concerned and would appreciate any feedback.

Thank you.

Does your doctor know you had the sleeve performed?

He must think you have a stricture.... It happens.

If you do a search here a lot of people get them.

I will try and dig up a thread for you.

Good luck

Hi Laura-Ven,

Thank you for the support and info. I had the scope and dilation yesterday. Not the most fun in a day, but survived it. Had a stricture and ulcer action. Waiting on follow up from my surgeon regarding what this all means to me. But I did wake up this morning with a bit less nausea(thank god), and able to get more fluids down. Back to mushy foods(leaning towards Soups still). Thank you again .

Hi Will,

Thank you for replying. He is my surgeon. Had the procedure done and hope it gets better.
