Does anyone know what all the surgery to expand my opening to my stomach entails. I'm 6 weeks out and miserable. I can't drink anything. Everything taste horrible. I'm nauseous 24/7. I can only eat liquids. My dr says she may have to expand my stomach opening. Is that a day surgery? Does anyone know the recovery time?

Yikes. That sucks.

Oh, no!! That is incredibly scary!! I’m so sorry for your awful experience!! ❤️

probably go,in with an EDG , inflate a balloon in the stoma to enlarge,the opening. And then hopefully,everything will,be better.

I have to have this done today. I had a sleeve on Wednesday. I can’t hold water down, I’m nauseous all day. How did yours end up being!

Good luck to all of you! Let us know how it goes so others can learn from your experiences, please! Thanks!

Typically it's done endoscopically through your mouth, they insert a balloon and just stretch it all out. From what I've read it's a rather short process where you might not be fully put under, just like getting an Upper Endoscopy. Recovery is liquids only for a bit and I've heard it's kinda painful afterwards for a while as well.
