This was a gastric bypass revision. Original done in 2000, but over the years weight crept back on. When I gained over 20 lbs in six months went to get checked out and found I had a gastric fistula and revision surgery was required ( medical necessity ).
Since surgery in January, I was ok for about a month. In late Feb , I had a stricture from my stomach to my intestines. I have had to have 4 endoscopies with dilation. Doctors went small in opening the stricture so that there would be no damage. I am now 3 months out and finally able to eat solid food.
