I am not a doctor but when I had my hiatal hernia repair I had what they called a stricture and my food was not going into my stomach fast enough causing escopgile spasm. Call your Dr they may have to dialate the opening of your hiatus.

I had VSG 3/27/23 with hiatal hernia repair. My left shoulder hurts up into my neck bad any time I get air in my esophagus. Sometimes it just aches. Will it ever stop? The other surgery pains are diminishing pretty fast and I feel weak but ok otherwise. Is this normal?
I just learned that my surgeon used a 60 mm bougie for my sleeve and I noticed around 3 1/2 months my restriction was not the greatest. My surgery weight was 225 and I am 204 now 6 months post-op. Could this be the reason my loss is slow?
Can anyone make a recommendation for a DR to perform Sleeve in Ontario?

During the first couple of years [maybe not quite that long] I had to chew my food until it practically disappeared or it was hard to digest, and especially raw vegies
