I was sleeved 8 weeks ago. My first 4 weeks were great, then my issues started. I started having nauseous bouts and everything I ate or drank was coming back up.
I went to my check up with my surgeon and he said I was extremely dehydrated. He pumped me full of 2 bags of fluids gave me a Vitamin B1 and 12 shot. I was suppose to feel better within a day. I went then weekend with no relief. Surgeon called Monday to check and they sent me to get an upper GI.
When the surgeon called with the results he said I had a "tight spot" and I had a choice:
1) doing nothing and hope the spot will stretch on its own (and the stomach above the "spot" doesn't just stretch itself and cause me to have dumping later on)
OR
2) have the GI Dr. go in and stretch it some.
I have been tolerating food a little better lately and getting my fluids in but still not able to get the daily requirements.
My questions are :
Has anyone had this issue? If so what did you choose to do? and even if you have not what are your thoughts?
I have a consultation with the GI Dr. this coming Monday and will need to make a decision...I DO NOT want it stretched too much in fear the surgery will be a waste.
So confused....
