I am 3 weeks post op revision to rny. I have been healing great until 3 days ago. I had advanced to ground meats mashed potatos yogurt soft fish. I now cannot keep any solid food down I am back to clear liquids i am calling my surgeon in the morning but has anyone else experienced this?

I sounds like a stricture. I had one and was unable to keep liquids down.

What did they have to do to fix it? I go back to work in a few days

I also had this occur at around 3 weeks. They put a scope down my throat and where the intestine was reattached they widen it. You will be put under for the scope and you will see a positive difference for sure. The small intestine is just to small for the food to go through. Hope this helps.

Thank you! In very nervous since i had a very rough recovery and the last thing I want is for them to have to do surgery again.

No problem. I am 4 months out now and have had no problems since. It's a simple procedure.

Did you have to do more than one scope? The surgeon said I may need multiple scopes to keep it open.

I only needed one. I have heard others needed 2-3 times.

Ok. My dr said they may make me wait a week they have never done a scope at 3 weeks. Im trying to hold up but im week and can barely keep fluids down

That is crazy! My doctor knew exactly what was wrong and time didn't matter. So weird. What state are you in?

NY. They said they can scope at 4 weeks. Im just aggravated because they knew it was going to happen because of the severe scarring from my lapband.. They should have just scheduled the appt for me at 4 weeks. I go back to work next week and will have to already miss time

I didn't realize you had a lapband first. I also had a lapband revision to the rny. It does stink bit you will be good to go back to work the next day. You will feel so much better afterwards. Are you taking your vitamins? I am in tx

I cant even keep my Vitamins down. I can barely keep liquids down. Its just plain awful and I have my appt tuesday which will be 11 days like this. Do you start the phases of food all over again?

I am so sorry. I did not have problems with liquids. I believe you only do liquids for a day or 2. Let me know how Tuesday goes. I'll say a prayer for you. Ps. I'd call the nurse if you go to long without anything down. You will dehydrate and end up in hospital.

Maybe even request for dr to call you back.

They said if i go a day without liquid they will send a nurse to give me fluids at home. Thank you for all your help. I was really nervous about it.
