Endoscope and dilation- Has anyone had to have this procedure post op?



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

I am almost 6 weeks post op and still struggling to keep mushy food and sometimes liquids down. I can barely keep down 1/4 cup of my mushy foods and some days I can't keep down fluids. I spoke to my doctor and he wants to do a endoscope and "stretch" my stomach a bit because he thinks that is the problem with the vomiting. I am okay with the scope, but concerned about having my stomach "stretched". Has anyone had these procedures done? And what if any results did you have afterwards? I am a bit concerned and would appreciate any feedback.

Thank you.

D.

Does your doctor know you had the sleeve performed?

He must think you have a stricture.... It happens.

If you do a search here a lot of people get them.

I will try and dig up a thread for you.

Good luck :)

Hi Laura-Ven,

Thank you for the support and info. I had the scope and dilation yesterday. Not the most fun in a day, but survived it. Had a stricture and ulcer action. Waiting on follow up from my surgeon regarding what this all means to me. But I did wake up this morning with a bit less nausea(thank god), and able to get more fluids down. Back to mushy foods(leaning towards Soups still). Thank you again :).

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
