Your story is horrible. You had a blockage, and they could not put an NG tube in, and let you almost die. Never go to that hospital again.

You are suffering, and your surgical care team say that this is normal, you should run away. You are done with that surgeon. You have seen the results that he gave you.

If the problems with the pouch started right away after takedown, as you wrote, it might be a mechanical problem, and in that case you will need a pouch redo/repair surgery. Why don't you Contact Dr Remzi at NYU? He is having virtual visits. He can tell you whether you need a pouch redo, or a treatment plan with a GI. NYU accepts most insurance plans.
