Gastric Sleeve Complications - What You Need To Know

I’ve had significant complications. Gastric emptying slowed to 55% in 90 minutes and 50% is considered the cut off for gastroparesis. And I’ve developed swallowing issues or severe GERD (didn’t have it before) on Monday I got an upper endoscopy, esophageal manometry, which is pure torture, and a 48 hour test with a transmitting capsule attached to my esophagus. Capsule only just detached today and was quite awful. Don’t know what is wrong till I see my GI doctor on Monday.

Complications began about 3 months out.

KateBruin - so sorry to hear about this! I hope they get you fixed up soon!

Sleeved 8 weeks ago and no complications so far here. I'm feeling very blessed.

Kate so sorry you are having so many problems, I hope the tests reveal some solutions for you. @KateBruin (can you update your profile on BP please, so we can keep track of your surgery?)

Kate I’m sorry to hear that, what hospital was this?

I don’t even know how to do that.

You have to do it on a computer not your phone

I’ll do that as soon as I can bend down to get my laptop out of my hospital bag! Had incisional hernia repair Tuesday and I feel like I’m dying. Dramatic, yes but it’s that bad. Doctors are some filthy liars!
