Has anyone needed to do a dialation after RNY? I am having a lot of trouble with vomiting and my surgeon is recommending endoscopic surgery to look into it.

Hi. I had a stricture. I just had a dilation last Thursday. I was dilated to 2 cms. I should mention that i had the sleeve done, not RNY. I like you, couldn't keep anything down. I was sleeved on 6/11.

How far out were you from the surgery for RNY

I had my surgery 6/11/18. I can get liquids down but some soft foods, usually meats, are coming back up.

I had an endoscopy yesterday and they did see mild stenosis so they dilated a little.

The good news is my staples are healed!

Unfortunately looks like I’ll be back for another this week.

Coupled with a 3 week stall I am no happy RNY camper.

And I hope the Stenosis Fairy did not whack me with her wand, but I am convinced in my mind I have a stricture. Finished up my Sunday emesis , all because I tried to chew up a saltine. I chewed, I chewed, it seemed so smooth and pasty, but Precious wasn't fooled. And I had a miserable hour of barf and slimies and belchs. But things are now peaceful and I think I can keep down beef Bone Broth. Precious temporarily quiet And actually I kind of like the broth, soon be all gone and then I'll go to either chicken one or the vegan veggie one from Wal-Mart. The bone broth does fill my needs now, That and maybe cream of 🍄 my favorites. Haven't yet tried them all from Campbell, really do perfer my own. Didnt bother with spoonfuls, just use a 2 oz cup and sip slowly.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
