I had an endoscopy today. The doctor said he needs to schedule another test and then he will bring me into his office so he can explain his findings. I am not that patient, anyone know what
"stricture of sleeve gastrectomy with proximal dilation" means?

Stricture means narrowing. Sounds like you may have had a narrowing of your VSG and the doc dilated it (stretched it back out) at the beginning/top (which is what proximal means) of the stomach. Hope this helps!
