Blockage question
Hi everyone, I am almost 2 years out of my RNY surgery and I have been feel really sick when I eat anything lately. I feel full fast and am back to eating very little amounts. A lot of the time I feel like there may be a blockage. What should I watch for? Im not sure I really have been blocked up before so not sure what it feels like. Im not in pain or anything but I do feel tightness after I eat and sometimes my heart races and I get really tired after eating.
Any one gone through this before or know what could be wrong with me? Over the past 2 years I have not had to many problems and all my blood work and everything always comes back really good.
Should I maybe go back to soft foods for a few days?
Any answers or help is welcome
thanks
Yes, see your doctor. It could be a stricture, or many other things. There's really no way for us to know.

Yes, you need to see your doctor. Strictures are not common that far out, but they CAN happen if your body continues to very slowly create scar tissue. You can also have pressure from a hernia or other things making it difficult to eat.
