Give Me Your Thoughts Please....having Complications



Recommended Posts

Ok, so I have posted I had surgery in November 2011....I have a stricture....imagine that.....anyways, I have lived miserably with this for months and the surgeons solution was to dilate or stretch with an upper GI....the first one no success....the second maybe some change....NOW nothing works for me....anyways followed up with surgeon today and told him basically you are going in to fix this.....two options: bypass the stricture which will make me a gastric bypass patient now or try to cut around the stricture and see how that heals up and see if it will tighten again......I am nervous but want this fixed....I am leaning towards the bypass, but UGH.....any comments or thoughts....

My only comment is good luck! I know nothing about which works best to cure a stricture, but I definitely feel for you!

I have no advice, but I wish you the best of luck and hope they can figure out a solution.

Get it fixed any way you can! If it's the gastric bypass, then that it is. You don't need to be suffering anymore. It is kinda scary the thought of just cutting it out. :(

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

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
