I'm not doing well

I have had a hard time eating although I could drink liquids fine. For the last week I have had a hard time with food and now liquids. Yesterday all I could get in was 3 oz of water that's all no food no nothing. Today I can't even drink water it hurts so bad going down the pain is very bad that I won't drink or eat anything. I contacted my surgeon and I was told that I probably have Stenosis which is when the opening from the pouch to the intestine begins to narrow apparently it happens to 5 percent of bypass patients. I know I know I had to raise my hand and say pick me pick me. Fortunately it is an easy fix they have to do and endoscopy and a balloon dilatation. It is supposed to be simple and out patient. And the good thing about this is I have been loosing weight like crazy since I have had no real food for a week. Well I will keep you posted and thanks for letting me share. Alice

Sorry to hear you got a stricture. They can dialate that out for you & hopefully have you drinking more soon. Congrats on the weight loss!

I hope you're feeling better soon!!! Holly

Sorry to hear you are having trouble Alice, I will pray that you get the EGD and everything starts toimprove from here on out.

Alice, I had the same issues when I was just 3 weeks out. They put me in the hospital and did a scope. I did not have a stricture but I do have an ulcer now. I could not drink even a sip without feeling bubbles gurgle in my pouch and having an intense pain for a few minutes each sip. Until you go in try hoe peppermint tea, decaff of course. It helped me alot. Good luck hun Sabrina

Sorry to hear you are having this problem Alice I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers hon that they get it fixed really quickly. When do you go in for the procedure? Anna

I hope they can fix it soon for you! Good luck! Gina

I'm sorry Alice. I hope that you will do better after the endoscope and stretching. Praying for you! Jennie
