Any one had there sleeved corked screwed (angulated). I had an endoscopy last week and that's what it showed with a hernia. The way my stomach has flipped has created a sort of pocket...so the food does not exit properly and causes gerd....going to see dr to follow up on next course of action...

I have heard of the stomach twisting as you describe. My  understanding is that it requires surgery to correct. Best of luck to you. I hope you find resolution quickly.

Your case does not sound nearly as bad as the one case my surgeon described where a poorly made sleeve (not sure what that means) collapsed over on itself. He was the surgeon *****paired the sleeve.

I'm sorry to hear you are having trouble.  I hope it is quickly resolved.

best wishes,

Thank you! I can't find a lot of info on it, from what I read it is a late term complication....
