Well yesterday started out by going back to Nashville. The past three days I have been unable to keep food down. Following by uncontrollable gurgling in my throat and hiccups. I called the doctor and they set me up right away to have a endoscopy and upper GI done.
Looks like my opening to my pouch over healed and was only 3mm. Therefore only very little food was getting through. While I was under anesthesia they did a balloon procedure to open it to 12mm. Once I was awake they sent me to radiology for the upper GI, had to drink the nasty stuff while they ran video if it was going down ok. All was well with that test.
From the hospital to the Dr. Dyers office, he told me about my pouch and that 5-10% of gastric bypass patients have to have that done. Ain't I the lucky one. Then he told me sometimes they have to do it more than once. Praying this was the first and last time for me.
He put me on 3 days of liquids, then one week of blended foods before going to stage 4 again.
I will just be happy to be able to eat and keep it down.
As for my last open incision he says it looks good and will probably finally close up next week.
Leg cramps- he said it is because of fluids. Drink...drink....drink...also my dietitian said to drink powerade zero that the electrolytes may help the cramps at night stop.
Thankful I didn't have a leak, or something worse. God is in control.
