I had my bypass in 2015. No complications no issues, a perfect experience. I exercise regularly and am very active. I can eat all foods now although sometime sweet thing make my belly rumble. Everything seems great. But!! All of a sudden the past couple of weeks when I eat I feel like the food gets stuck in my chest. It is not heartburn more like the food just stops right between my breasts. The pain is so bad my heart rate goes up and I am in tears. When it first happened I though I didn’t threw enough and made myself throw up that one time to get it out. But the pain just continued. I figured because of that one time I had a bruise inside and it would take a few days to stop hurting. But it’s been weeks and every time I eat it happens. I chew slowly and thoroughly. I take extra care to make sure everything I put in my body is thoroughly chewed and absolutely passable so nothing will get stuck. But there is pain! I even tried eating just soft foods like a mashed banana or yogurt for a few days to help heal whatever Is goin on. It didn’t help even smooth is painful. Anyone have this issue? What could it be? TIA~Crystal

Thx. I haven’t had any complications and yes 4 years is a long time to have some crazy side effect like this. What is a stricture?

Yes I know that! I put a call in to the dr but I moved out of state and am trying to find someone who will take me so I’m kinda in limbo right now. I am just asking for any info/advise from personal experience.

I had my surgery November 2016. I did well I lost 65 of the 75 pounds the doctors recommend I lose. Although I did not get to my absolute goal weight I was very happy with my progress. I am no longer on medication for my thyroid, diabetes or cholesterol. My eating habits have not changed. I am consistent with drinking water eating my protein first and sticking to 6 very low-carb, low sugar meals each day. All of a sudden within a month I gained approximately 12 pounds. I don't know why this happened I don't know how it happened. Now although I am sticking to the same diet and the same exercise routine I am hungry all the time. This just started the last few days. No matter what I consume I am never satisfied. I don't know what to do to lose the extra weight I have regained. And I don't know what to do to curb my appetite because I am out of control right now. Please help I need advise ASAP!
