Scope with a balloon to stretch?



Recommended Posts

Hi,

Has anyone had to have a scope & balloon procedure to stretch your hole post op? If so did it work? I can't get foods down. Only liquids.< /p>

Hi my Dr. did an Endoscopy three months after RNY because of constant vomiting. He loosened the pouch a little and problem solved!

Thanks for responding.
I'm gonna have it done at 6.5 weeks out from surgery. I can't get soft food down. It gets stuck and I feel like im having a massive heartattack plus vomiting. I've been on all liquids for a ton of weeks. I just want something to help me. I don't want this to be permanent. I'm really frightened.

I had an EGD four weeks post-op where they dilated my opening. I couldn't get liquid down. The Dr said scar tissue had formed which caused a narrowing of the opening to the stomach. Apparently this is quite common after surgery, but it sure is scary.

Yes. I had my surgery on 02/21/17. I can get liquids down but no soft starter foods. It feels like I'm having a massive heart attack when anything but liquids goes down. It's gotten to the point where liquids is all I can do. I'm praying for this to get better. I can't live like this.

I would call the Dr's office and tell them what is going on. I waited 3 days and on the 4th day Fluid wouldn't go down so I ended up in the ER. I had to have IV's and a hospital stay until they could do the EGD.

Have you gotten past this stage? Are you able to eat now without feeling like you're having a heart attack?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
