Stomach stretch update

Hi everyone,

Just thought I’d bring you up to date, tummy stretch went well, the surgeon said he could see why I was having difficulty, so he inserted the ballon all the way and inflated it fully, but he said he will chat in 4 weeks times and see if things have improved, if they havnt he is suggesting I have a tummy resection, he said he will pull my tummy back down, there is a 99% success rate for this, so a little concerned really, I can’t remember the names he used , so I am really praying this procedure works and I won’t have to have the resection.

Has anyone been told that they might or have had this done ?

Thanks for listening guys,

Night night

June
