I had a gastric bypass 4 or 5 years ago and have done really well ….but lately I can only eat about 3 or 4 bites of food when it feels like the pouch has shut off and I have bad pains.

    Contact your doctor. You could have developed a stricture. That is when the opening has gotten tight. They can go in and stretch it. It can happen at any time after the surgery. Call your doctor right away to have it checked out. You don’t want to ignore it.

    Hi

    Here is some information on possible complications years after surgery from a surgeon’s perspective.

    I hope this helps some!

    Good luck!
