Has Any One Had A Stent?



Recommended Posts

Hi my name is jordyn I was 19 when I had RNY on aug 22 2012!!

Two weeks ago I had begun to throw up constantly everything even medicine and Water... To the point that I couldn't do it any more I was so dehydrated it was horrible. I called my dr an he sent me in for a scope in which they found that i had built up so much scar tissue in 5 weeks that the opening to my pouch was the size of the tip of a ball point pin... They placed a stent in there and put me on liquid diet again for 4 days as soon as I returned to soft/ purée foods I have begun throwing up again... Has any one been through this if so please help me.. I contacted my dr an was put on 2 more days liquid diet... This is horrible!!!

So far I am now 7 weeks out and have lost 48 pounds!!!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
