Can The Stomach Twist After The Stent Insertion?
Ive had gastric sleeve done on sept15. I'm having bad acid relax due to the narrowing of my sleeve in the lower portion of my sleeve. A stent was suggested to open the passage but it could not be place due to the turn of my stomach. Now they are talking about putting in camera in as well as tools to twist the stomach so they can insert the stent. It will also be remove in a few weeks. My question is will the stomach twist again once the stent is in and what are the chances of it being dislarged.
