Hello

Yes I am 18month post op and I still having issue eating. Sometimes I can eat and sometimes I vomit. It's hard at times. Also one day I can eat something and following day I can't eat the same thing. It will get better.

I have problems too but I think the problems I have with eating are my fault. Yesterday I had chicken nuggets and could only eat 1 and a half pieces. The day before that I ate something and got sick. I'm only 10 weeks out so.... It all depends on what my pouch decides to keep down. It could be anything that I get sick from but it doesn't happen as much as it did before.

I'm 5 months out and I really was struggling eating solid food, had a endoscope on Wednesday and it showed that I had a structure. We are meant to have a 3cm gap for our food to go down and mine was 8mm they even struggled to get the scope through to stretch it. They stretched it to 12mm and I have to go back in 2 weeks for them to stretch it again. Keep an eye on your eating and if you continue to struggle I would suggest to get back in touch with your consultant. Good luck.

I was just diagnosed with a stricture at 4 weeks out and am having my third endoscopy with dilation this Thursday. I was having trouble keeping food and Water down, but it was totally hit or miss until all of a sudden everything made me sick. Definitely worth getting checked out.

For those of you who had the balloon dilation, do you have this at the doctor's office? Did you have the endoscopy first (same day)?

I had to have it scheduled at a surgicenter. I'm going for my fourth dilation tomorrow, the dr is hoping that this one will be the last.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
