2 weeks post-back in hospital can barely get in fluids

[myezzence 4]

Well, I thought life was getting better, however I am 2 weeks post, I was placed on moist foods, but I can barely get in 32 oz of Water, and its hard to swallow any foods. It feels like everything gets stuck in my throat or my esphogus. Come to find out..i have to be admitted due to dehydration and they have to do some test on my Gi tract...the dehydration is causing my drinking problems...a sip feels a lump

32 oz. That's more than I could get in. I went to hospital too. Got some fluids and things started getting better after that

I had a similar problem. Mine was due to several different issues from a stricture, to a minor hole in my sleeve, as well as a kink and excess swelling. Some of us end up with more swelling than others, no one knows why though.

Are they doing a scope? A scope is a pretty easy procedure. They knocked me out, put a tube down my throat and looked through the camera to see what was going on. When the stricture was done, they ballooned it open.
