I had the same problem at 4 weeks. I called my surgeon and they wanted me to have an EGD (scope),

had my EGD on Friday and found out I had a stricture. They dilated it and I am doing wonderful now. I know its probably not what you want to hear but if it makes you feel better then it is worth it. I would call your surgeon ASAP as you do not want to dehydrate. Best of luck and keep us posted.

Same problem here at 4 weeks. I threw up for 4 days. By the time I called my doctor and went in I was dehydrated and low on potassium. I also had a stricture. They dilated me as well and I'm keeping down full liquids. My doctor scolded me for not calling sooner. Don't make that mistake.

What a stricture?

He explained its the scar tissue forming at the bottom of the pouch where it meets the intestines. Sometimes too much scar tissue makes the opening too small, so they have to stretch it out a little bit.

I have asked if there is anytjing I can do to help it not happen and my dr said no some people just have it more than others! I hate having them but the procedure isnt painful just a little gasy after it! Good luck with getting it fixed

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
