Has anyone had a structure causing them to feel horrible and vomit... if so how long did it take you to stop vomiting and feel better once this was fixed

I had two bad strictures. Both times they were so tight even Water would make me vomit and get the slimmies. My first one was immediately relieved after an endoscopy. My second one came two weeks after the endoscopy and was just as tight. Again after a second endoscopy it was immediate relief (minus the sore throat you get from the scope)

My stricture is very slight. I love it and it keeps me honest. I refuse to get it corrected, in fact. It keeps me from eating more than a nibble of soft bread, Pasta, potatoes, rice...

I can't eat fast, I have to chew well, and dry foods don't work.

Water is hard, but I am working through it and it is getting easier.

I don't think it's normal for people to keep their strictures. I think it could be dangerous. It's important to discuss these things with your surgeon and follow their procedures. Please be aware that a stricture can cause you to become quite ill. Please be careful folks!

My dr explained that it may take a few stretches depending on how tight it is. I'm just hoping it works on the first shot

      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? 🤷‍♀️
