9 weeks midline stricture



Recommended Posts

Has anyone been dealing with a stricture just diagnosed 5 days post dilation and can barely drink a liter of Water no food maybe 20 grams Protein daily. Spent weeks in hospital before just recently finding a midline stricture! Can barely do cream Soups and Water gurgles. Have to choose water or food. Just wondering if anybody has had similar problems and how many dilations till they could eat something without being in agony, any causes grief except water. Lost 70# since 9-14-16.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
