Multiple pouch opening dielations and more to come

I am 2 years post op from RNY done by Dr. Chan in Orange California. I have never really felt well since the procedure but have lost 150 lbs. Last year an endoscopy found that the opening to my pouch had healed down to the size of a pencil lead. I have since had 7 more Endoscopys to dielate this to the size of a quarter. The last dielation was 8 weeks ago and I am sick again, Another Endosopy yesterday determined I am closing up again. They are going to do a dielation every two weeks for the next several months hoping to keep it open. If this does not work they will discuss "Corrective Surgery" with me. Has anyone out there had a similar issue or know what steps can be taken? My food intake is so eratic that I am starting to have complications from low protien intake. Any help would be appreciated.
