Burpie Urpie & Chest Pain (Dilation?)

(2 weeks since my RNY) -- Well I had an esophogram today (oh my gosh was that awful! that stuff they make you drink is like POISON). They said that the entry into my stomach is small and may need to be dilated later. They won't do it now because it needs to heal better or it could tear. And it could get better and I may not need it. He said that 10% of patients have to have dilation. This urpie burpie pain just sucks sooooo bad, gas-x doesn't help it, and doc says just to "tough it out" for another week or two and see how it goes. Has anyone else had to have dilation or had this issue heal itself? Thanks so much!!!
