Dr made my opening too small

[Chris chandler 0]

Does anyone know what all the surgery to expand my opening to my stomach entails. I'm 6 weeks out and miserable. I can't drink anything. Everything taste horrible. I'm nauseous 24/7. I can only eat liquids. My dr says she may have to expand my stomach opening. Is that a day surgery? Does anyone know the recovery time?

probably go,in with an EDG , inflate a balloon in the stoma to enlarge,the opening. And then hopefully,everything will,be better.

I have to have this done today. I had a sleeve on Wednesday. I can’t hold Water down, I’m nauseous all day. How did yours end up being!

Typically it's done endoscopically through your mouth, they insert a balloon and just stretch it all out. From what I've read it's a rather short process where you might not be fully put under, just like getting an Upper Endoscopy. Recovery is liquids only for a bit and I've heard it's kinda painful afterwards for a while as well.
