Briswife, I’m glad to hear you’re doing well. It gives me hope. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for your replies! I had my procedure today and I have a severe stricture that will require multiple dilations a week apart. So, it’s back to liquids for me now. But, it will be much better then getting sick every day. Looking forward to better days.

Well, my surgeon thinks I have a stricture (can’t keep food down). I’m having a endoscopic dilation tomorrow. Has anyone gone through this and did the dilation do the trick?

I had my first “clumping” episode yesterday. Not sure if I ate to fast or if the food was to dry. I’m 3 weeks post op RNY so this is my first experience with this. It lasted for four hours! Does it usually last this long? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Update: Just talked to my doctor. Cough medicine is fine as long as it doesn’t contain NSAIDs.

Thanks, AJ

I’m 8 days post op RNY and I’ve caught a cold. Any advice on over the counter cold medicine?

Hi all! This is my first post although I’ve been looking around for awhile. My surgery is on the 14th. I have SO much nervous energy, but super excited!
