Vicki! so sorry to hear this. Best of luck getting is sorted out the next time.

When I asked my doc what size bougie he used to size my sleeve, he told me he made the pylorus end wider than the rest... not sure how much wider... I have had trouble losing all my weight, but I don't get the feeling that my stomach is still getting bigger. He told me that people with more room at the pylorus end have less problems with keeping food down.... have read about Bezoars! Don't want one of those!

a girl i know got a bezoar right at that site, upper stomach, below the esophagus. then she got a leak...almost died. in ICU, on a reperator..etc...she is ok now, but a bezoar can be scary..thats why i started drinking diet pepsi again, cuz her doc told her colas can dissolve them...who knows what is right or wrong, im just learning as i go...thanks for the support feedyoureye..im sure your ok, you wt loss is amazing and your almost at goal!! good for you!

nope, dont mind, looks like im the only one, so let everyone know it can happen, It is called a neofundus you can look it up..part of the fundus, stretchy part of the stomach starts to grow back ugh....i have a pouch now and it holds alot of food...wt gain, and reflux is prob the most common symptoms....groan...wish i could find someone else who has had it so i could ask some questions....thanks for asking, makes me feel like someone is listening to me...LOL
