Stent

 My husband had a sleeve done a few weeks ago.  Since then, he had to have a stent placed in his stomach because a portion of his stomach started to close up.  He has to have the stent in his stomach for 3 weeks. He is miserable, the pain and vomiting is awful.  He is still in the hospital since Tuesday and doesnt know if he'll be able to go home until they take the stent out.  I would love to hear anyone's experience with a stent and any advice. 

Thanks,
Laura

 Laura,
I thought I had heard most of what was out there, this one stumps me. I'm sorry I don't have the answer, I just didn't want you to have zero responses. Have you tried an Internet search? There is a sleeve forum on here, maybe this is a sleeve specific problem? If I come across something, I will message you

 Laura,
I found one website, here's the link:

http://www.saltlakeregional.com/services/weight_loss_surgery/sleeve/

It talks about the stents as a rare occurrence. What does the surgeon say? I hope this helps to get you started.
