james.key 0 Posted June 22, 2014 I am five weeks post op and now allowed to have three ounces of solid Protein. When I eat solid protein I get bad pain in my stomach. I contacted my surgeon and he said it sounds like I have a narrowing in my sleeve. He said that he needed to stretch the sleeve. Has anyone had this done or had pain after eating a small amount of food? I have lost just over 50 lbs in five week's so that part is great. I am more nervous about the stretching of the sleeve than I was about the surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He said he needed to stretch the sleeve. @@james.key eggggads I "might" have heard this once before your doc should know best talk to him some more but in my case i would be scared the "stretching" of the sleeve might end up too big of a sleeve?? this might/would allow you to eat more food without any problem "maybe" get another opinion 50 lbs down!!! congrats good luck kathy Edited June 22, 2014 by proudgrammy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LindafromFlorida 1,542 Posted June 22, 2014 Post a topic "Surgeon wants to stretch my sleeve" and see if you get some help here. You should be specific when you have a problem James and I hope some replies with some information. IMHO I would be wanting some seriously good X-rays before I let anyone do anything. And take the X-rays for a second opinion. Doctors get nervous when you ask too many questions and talk second opinions so beware. I wish you the best and I hope you find some help here. God Bless.
