I am five weeks post op and now allowed to have three ounces of solid protein. When I eat solid protein I get bad pain in my stomach. I contacted my surgeon and he said it sounds like I have a narrowing in my sleeve. He said that he needed to stretch the sleeve. Has anyone had this done or had pain after eating a small amount of food? I have lost just over 50 lbs in five week's so that part is great. I am more nervous about the stretching of the sleeve than I was about the surgery.

sounds like narrowing in my sleeve. He said he needed to stretch the sleeve.

I "might" have heard this once before

your doc should know best

talk to him some more

but in my case i would be scared the "stretching" of the sleeve might end up too big of a sleeve??

this might/would allow you to eat more food without any problem

"maybe" get another opinion

50 lbs down!!!

congrats

good luck

Post a topic "Surgeon wants to stretch my sleeve" and see if you get some help here. You should be specific when you have a problem James and I hope some replies with some information. IMHO I would be wanting some seriously good X-rays before I let anyone do anything. And take the X-rays for a second opinion. Doctors get nervous when you ask too many questions and talk second opinions so beware. I wish you the best and I hope you find some help here. God Bless. Linda
