I am currently 3 months post op and living with a stricture. Right now I have been on liquids for the past week because my stricture seems to have swollen up almost over night. It’s too early for another dilation. My last dilation was on the 5th. I’m so exhausted all the time and even having trouble with liquids backing up into my esophagus. I have so much regret since I had this surgery done. I feel like it’s the worst thing I’ve ever done. I really could use some advice from anyone who’s gone through this.

This is my first WLS. I have had other stomach surgeries though. So mine was a bit more complicated.

I️ am 8 weeks post op RNY and I have had nothing but issues since surgery. I have had constant acid reflux and vomiting. This weekend I was rushed to the hospital with horrible vomiting and abdominal pain. That episode turned out to be cause by kidney stones but the weird thing is I was vomiting food from 9:30 pm the night before. Has anyone had major issues with their stomach emptying? I’ve only advanced to puréed foods no further and keep getting put back on liquids. I’m scheduled for an upper GI tomorrow but my surgeon just keeps telling me this will get better in 3-6 months. I’m absolutely miserable and I regret everything about this surgery. Any advice would be welcomed.

I completely understand what you’re going through. I am in the same boat right now. I’m 4 weeks out and doctor put me on meds and told me to stay on liquids for 2 weeks. I feel sick every single day with shakes and even just water. I feel like I made a major mistake. Good luck to you! I really hope it gets better from here.
