Hi guys. Well after a consultation i was told i do have a stricture. I was relieved as i havnt kept food down for 2 weeks.

Ihave in 14 weeks lost 88 pounds. Would love to get to 100 by the time i go to new zealand dec15th. Has anyone else had the stricture procedure

I have, felt much better after being dilated.

How long did it take what did you have to do after. Fluids again

Less than 24 hours. Started with warm broth soup...I had seafood phone both times, I little noodle and mostly broth. Felt so much better. Tea is good also.

I could do fluids immediately after recovery.

Lol...seafood pho, not phone! Darn auto correct!!

So when did you go to solids again heard diff things. Lol yes auto correct sucks

Depends what you define as hard...my gastro suggested soft foods for three weeks..I didn't do that. My gf surgeon suggested letting the pouch rest for a day or two..this I did, and pre loaded with a warm drink or broth soup. I had two dialation procedures. They dialated me to 15 mm then no more problems

lol at the "phone" i was like what, of course I still don't know what seafood pho is either, lol. Hope you get this stricture taken care of and back on your journey.

It fixed pho but not dilation...lol

Phone is Vietnamese noodle soup, sort of like ramen noodles, nut full of meat. The beef and stuff is a bit tough for a young pouch, but seafood rocks.

Dang it!! It should read pho is full of meat

Thanks guys being sick is getting me down but the weight iscoming off

What is a stricture? Sorry I'm lost...newbie over here

SD: 10/10/12, Converted from Lapband to RNY, HW (before band) 263, HW (RNY) 230, Preop 219, after surgery 223, current 202

And it did it again! If you see phone, have your brain auto correct to pho, lol!

A stricture is when the opening to your intestine closes due to scar tissue.
