I just had my stomach dilated after the surgeon found a stricture. I have been having intense pain in my stomach and side ever since. Has anyone else had this? It hurts worse than after my sleeve surgery.

If it's been more than 2 days, contact your surgeon/surgical team and let them know. But pain is going to happen after forcefully stretching a part of your digestive system.

Thank you for this post, very timely for me. I can only hope it,hurts no worse than the upchucking,i,have been doing. My chest wall does get SO SORE, everybody please send me GOOD wishes and Healing Thoughts FRIDAY AFTERNOON the 12th. I so hope THIS WORKS???

And it did not, Dr Noria also found ulceration down there and on back wall of my jejunem. So now on Carafate every 6 hours- 6am- Noon-6pm-Midnight, upped my Omeprazole to 2x daily, told me to maintain same diet, using the term loosely for my puny liquids and October 26th we try again, maybe swelling/ulceration, whatever stopped her before has subsided and,she can move ahead with dialating me, Ellie123 had hers done on the past Monday, she felt so much like a brand-new woman she was able,to take a business trip to the UK. I WANT THAT!

I don't mean to be mean or something, but I forgot Sleevers could get structured also, guess I thought only Bypassers got this.
