I had trouble eating and insisted my doctor do a scope, the scope was done by another doctor at the hospital whom after told me that the opening was too narrow and that's why I was having a hard time with food. She said that the other doctor would need to insert a balloon and expand it . At the follow up with my surgeon he said he wanted to leave it and it would expand on its own as I ate more, and instead prescribed anti vomiting medications. I have had many issues with this doctor and I am lacking trust in him now, I dont see how this problem will correct itself if I cant hold down food , how will it help fix the problem.

I need a second opinion or someone who knows is this even a viable solution !!
