Had my surgery May 20th and it began with comlications. The first was diarrhea. Every day no matter what I eat. I was taking prescription Imodium with Atrpoine with little success as well as Bentyl for the abd pain. I was often dehydrated. Then came the eating of solid food. Sometimes it would go down sometimes it would get stuck. If it got stuck I would spend hours retching even with nothing in there. Then last Saturday I took my first sip of coffee and because so nauseated that I dry heaved in the bathroom for 15 min, trying to catch my breath any sip of something would set it off again the next day I had an EGD which just showed a mild stenosis which he dialated and told me I have a very small pouch with some ulcers so he prescribed carafate. I'm at a loss as to what else to do. I don't like to eat anymore because of the vomiting even drinking can be painful. I'm getting more and more depressed as the days go on

I'm so sorry you are going through all this!

I hope this improves quickly for you. It must be terrible to not be able to eat and drink normally <3

My intestine where it was connected to my stomach was to narrow and would not allow regular food to pass through. My doc did an EGD and dilated the intestine opening it up some. This fixed my problem and I have never thrown up since. I have heard others say it took 2-3 times for this to fully work. Maybe, discuss this with your doc.
