Striction - Dreading This



Recommended Posts

Well after continuous vomiting and nausea being 12 weeks out this has just happened in the last 2 weeks went to doc yesterday and now they want an endoscope they think they can dilate and stretch the Striction I'm kinda nervous. Hope it's a one time thing. Any advice? Anyone else had this? Help!!

My doc said the same thing. He is going to determine tomorrow whether its necessary. But he said if I keep gurgling, then he will probably do it, which has continued since my last visit. Doesn't seem to scary from what the surgeon says, but then he has a warpped sense of pain.

That doesn't sound fun at all!! But the positive is, you SHOULD stop throwing up afterwards? I hope you feel much better soon!!

Sounds very scarey for me. Are they going to sedate you? Hope so. Good luck! It will be nice to not have the nauseousness and vomiting! ;)

I've had to have it done 3 times, not due to stomach strictures but to a schatzki ring, that is a narrowing of the esophogus. For me it never was a permanant fix and I had issues with it till just prior to my pre-op diet. Now that I am eating less, chewing more and not eating as fast I suspect that I still have it but the it is no longer an issue. Before, if I ate too fast - and I ALWAYS ate too fast - it would feel as though I was choking and I would sometimes "vomit" up what I'd just eaten. Not true vomit as it never made it into my stomach, it just got caught right at the bottom of the esophogus.

Anyway, it is quick simple and painless. They SHOULD give you something to make you loopy and make you drink some slime that numbs your throat.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
