esophageal dis motility after sleeve



Recommended Posts

i had my gastric sleeve in 2014 november, i weighed 288 lbs and had alot of med issues, i had sleep apnea, diabetes, incontenence, high blood pressure. shortly after the sleeve it all went away, i then began with UPCHUCK everything i ate i would bring back up, my dr. discredited me , everyday i would call with the same issue , hello this is sharon what is going on everytime i eat i throw up!!!

finally i decided to seek a different dr. the new dr listened to me in 2016 he fixed a hihenal hernia, but it didnt fix the UPCHUCK, in 2017 he removed my galbladder after going to the ER and having a x-ray of my abdomin they found a inpacted galbladder and a ventral hernia.

still i had UPCHUCK

in may 2017 the dr decided to do a gastric bypass , i was 164.4 and as you geussed it i had more problems. i still had UPCHUCK they told me i had a stricture i had 2 EGD with dialation

still i had the UPCHUCK then the dr sent me for a esophageal motility test there it was the answer to my problem!!! my esophagus i have dismotility LES

wow so today im going for another EGD and i am seeing a thoricic dr who said wow what a mess i am a tricky , risky case

what do i do?

I'm in the same boat. I developed motility issues after my VSG in 2014, on Monday I was given a revision to RNY to try to tackle the GERD issues before they continue on with further treatments. What I understand at this point is that they have to take baby steps trying to minimize the impact of these complications by medication (do you have spasms at all?), or by surgical means. I was told that there's no guarantee any of these procedures would actually work. You may just have to wait and see what they throw at you. Ultimately I was warned that sometimes we just have to end up going with TPN when other treatments fail. It's a wait and see game. :(

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
