Stomach stretch

Thank you all for your support, I really appreciate it. The procedure went well, the Pylorus was free flowing but the Sphincter was tight, so the surgeon opened it up with full inflated ballon, bit sore at the moment but I can cope with that. He said that we will have a video call in 4 weeks to discuss how I fell and if it’s worked, if it hasn’t then he has suggested I have Conduit revision surgery, he said they would “ pull my tummy down and reconnect “, which I have to say shocked me a bit as I didn’t think I had enough oesophagus left to do that ! So I am hoping the “ stretch “ worked.

I shall keep you all updated on progress 😉
