For me the stricture felt like what I would think a heart attack might feel like. I could literally feel it move from right under the middle of ribs then up the right side and across my chest to the left shoulder. I took some of the malox cocktail and didn't move for a bit. Then i thought I was just being a baby until I took a drink of cold G2 and it did it again. I called and he diagnosed it right over the phone. The Dr. Never told me but told my bf that out of the 4000 bypasses be has done I am #12. So not that common. Now I am having trouble again with swallowing but I dont think I will have it opened again unless I have to. Hope Ur feeling better.

Thanks for the reply. I am feeling better but I have not eaten anything for 2 weeks and I am so tired of Protein Powder and chicken broth. The whole thing just caught me off guard. I go tomorrow to see if I can start trying to eat. I can feel like Fluid is getting hung up there again so that is depressing.

Hey thanks!! You have inspired me to take a long walk and listen to music that I enjoy as loud as I want Lol.

I love that you have taken the time to put this list up! All the music is great stuff. I play break music for my bf's country band so I try to keep people dancing if they want to while the band grabs a break. I like country and radio pop when it is just me. When I play for the band I do a little different since the band plays country.

I have been ill so I have not up dated it in a few weeks. Hope maybe you will find something new in my list. Girls are always sweating when the night is over. Most don't even know the great workout they have just gotten. LOL

Thanks a bunch... I appreciate that? It's has just got to get better.

I am wondering if anyone else has had complications with stricture and then any sort of tear? It was at the bottom of my esophagus. I had just had a stricture procedure and had a 2 hour drive. I ate a very small amount of KFC mashed potatoes. I was 8 weeks post-op at the time. When I get the stricture I also get run down so I had a cough. A half hour from home I stopped for cough drops and when I got out of the car I got a huge pain and it moved from the right side up my shoulder and then to my left shoulder. I thought I was gonna die. I got home and laid down drank the white cocktail they gave me. Started to feel a little better so I went to vote and came home and took a drink of G2 and they whole thing started again so I called my Dr. And he told me I probably had a perforation and to drive back. I went I to surgery after a ct scan. It was right at the point of connection of my Esophagus and stomach pouch? He said it was "snotty" looking stuff. Well it kept me in the hospital for a week. I'm still on liquids with a central line in still. I'm getting very depressed with great buyers remorse. I have lost 40 lbs. So that is a plus but I feel so crappy all the time.

I don't know if I'm doing anything right? I am wondering if anyone has had this happen Cos I am so deathly scared of try to eat anything. I haven't even eaten a noodle out of Lipton chicken soup!!

Thanks for reading.

Thanks everyone! I dont know if i would have gotten this far without this forum to look things up. You all seem very nice, caring and intelligent. Thanks again!

Hello All! It is great to be on here and i have been reading a lot of your stories. They are very inspiring.

I will be 4 weeks post-op on Monday. I was 256.5 the day of surgery and now as of yesterday I was 234. I never got a goal weight from my doctor but I had the surgery mainly because I have had many knee surgeries and now my ACL is failing for the 4th time and I always hurt. I am 5'10 and I have felt my best at 135. So I guess I have 99 lbs to go. I could use interaction with people as I am getting sad and lonesome even with family around because they really don't understand. They are great but as I drop weight they don't see how its not always easy to say no to food that will make me sick. They do see the changes and they are excited for that. I would love to converse with you all. Send me a private message or whatever. Good luck to you all and keep up the awesome work!

I had surgery 4 weeks ago this coming Monday. I was 256.5 the day of surgery and now yesterday weighed 234. I want to lose 100 yet. I could really use tips or encouragement and I would love to meet people and hopefully do the same for others. This my first post. My fitness pal name is jsch1man so please add me!
