Seeking Those With Multiple Strictures Where the stomach attaches to the instine?

My stomache opening has closed three times in the last month. I had the bypass in Oct and my gallbladder removed in March. Ever since that surgery I've been not doing well. I complained for 6 weeks to my surgeon about throwing up nasueu, and just can't eat right. Well he basiclly didn't help much. Iasked him if there could be a stricture and he said no because I wasn't losing an enourmous amount of weight. He didn't take into consideration that mu legs are very swollen because of chronic venius insuffinsionsy and lympidemia. II'm proably carring an extra 20lbs of water in them. I finally went to a gastrointeralogist who found the stricture and balloned it open, but it closed again a week later it was opened again and it closed again. The gastro doctor said I need a surgery to correct this, but my surgeon won't he said that there is no surgery to fix this just keep doing the dialations and eventually it will work. Well the opening is all scared and I have an ulcer right at the opening. The surgeon is going to do the third dialation himself he said. I don't feel like this is going to work and that he might perferate my stomache, which is why the gastro doctors won't do it again they said it was to risky to keep repeating this. I need to close the old opening and reopen another and cut off the scared instine and reattach they said. I agreed to the dialation which is Wend, but I'm afraid that it won't work again and then what. Has anyone been in this sitation before? I am at my wits end. I haveen't been about to eat much for nealy 3 months and I have deterated. I can't do much for myself anymore cause I'm so weak and malnurished. I'm worse now then before the first surgery. This is not living and I need some one to help me before this eventually kills me.
