Scope with a balloon to stretch?



Recommended Posts

Hi,

Has anyone had to have a scope & balloon procedure to stretch your hole post op? If so did it work? I can't get foods down. Only liquids.< /p>

Hi my Dr. did an Endoscopy three months after RNY because of constant vomiting. He loosened the pouch a little and problem solved!

Thanks for responding.
I'm gonna have it done at 6.5 weeks out from surgery. I can't get soft food down. It gets stuck and I feel like im having a massive heartattack plus vomiting. I've been on all liquids for a ton of weeks. I just want something to help me. I don't want this to be permanent. I'm really frightened.

I had an EGD four weeks post-op where they dilated my opening. I couldn't get liquid down. The Dr said scar tissue had formed which caused a narrowing of the opening to the stomach. Apparently this is quite common after surgery, but it sure is scary.

Yes. I had my surgery on 02/21/17. I can get liquids down but no soft starter foods. It feels like I'm having a massive heart attack when anything but liquids goes down. It's gotten to the point where liquids is all I can do. I'm praying for this to get better. I can't live like this.

I would call the Dr's office and tell them what is going on. I waited 3 days and on the 4th day Fluid wouldn't go down so I ended up in the ER. I had to have IV's and a hospital stay until they could do the EGD.

Have you gotten past this stage? Are you able to eat now without feeling like you're having a heart attack?
