I was first sleeved on Nov 1, 2013. Original weight 260 and I got down to 182. I started having major pain about 3-4 months ago. Went to several doctors my original surgeon moved his practice so I didn't have a bariatric doctor. Finally got referred to one found out my sleeve was "too big" and my stomach actually twisted on top of itself making an "S" shape. My new surgeon had to go in take 50% of the stomach I still had, repair a hiatal hernia and remove adhesions this was all done June 16, 2014. I am having complications I had swelling where the esophagus meets the stomach causing me to go right back into the hospital the day after I was released from surgery and spent 4 more nights in the hospital. Here I am almost a month out and still in a lot of pain. Can't keep hardly anything down. I go back Tuesday to find out if they are going to go in via scope and stretch my opening. I feel like I am never going to get better. Anyone else had these issues? Will it get better? I honestly wish I could go back and never it do it.

Thank you. I would appreciate any information you find. I have tried finding some but this seems like a pretty rare situation. And thanks for the advice I am going to go get the reports from my 1st surgery!

Thank you for the kind words

I really don't know how it was made big and I don't have the original surgeon's report or even know how to find him. My new surgeon is wonderful though very carrying always talks me to directly when I call. I am very frustrated that the first surgery wasn't done correctly. I watch the scans when we found out my stomach was twisted and I know I dont know what I'm looking at very well but I swear it looked like it was in a knot. It was the craziest and scariest thing I had ever seen.
