I had the same problem at 4 weeks. I called my surgeon and they wanted me to have an EGD (scope),

had my EGD on Friday and found out I had a stricture. They dilated it and I am doing wonderful now. I know its probably not what you want to hear but if it makes you feel better then it is worth it. I would call your surgeon ASAP as you do not want to dehydrate. Best of luck and keep us posted.

Same problem here at 4 weeks. I threw up for 4 days. By the time I called my doctor and went in I was dehydrated and low on potassium. I also had a stricture. They dilated me as well and I'm keeping down full liquids. My doctor scolded me for not calling sooner. Don't make that mistake.

What a stricture?

He explained its the scar tissue forming at the bottom of the pouch where it meets the intestines. Sometimes too much scar tissue makes the opening too small, so they have to stretch it out a little bit.

I have asked if there is anytjing I can do to help it not happen and my dr said no some people just have it more than others! I hate having them but the procedure isnt painful just a little gasy after it! Good luck with getting it fixed

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
