Is it rough getting the stricture taken care of? Is it painful?

Its not painful at all compared to what you went through with the Wls. You have a little gas in you stomach and it makes for just a little discomfort! You are asleep when they do it, but I felt 100% better by the next day! Its more frustrating than anything!

SHARE info please! I haven't kept anything down in 2 days and I don't want to have the stricture procedure again! I'm just getting tired of spending money on it instead of other things! Lol

I am 8 weeks out ... First 5 weeks I had nothing but pain and puking' Had the upper GI they said all looked fine .... I knew something wasn't right!!

Finally got EGD and I had a structure they couldn't even pass the scope down. They did dilate and I had my second EGD with dilatation this week. I have to go back in 4 weeks for my third. Apparently my stricture is bad.... Just frustrating!

Things were better after 1st EGD but two weeks later I could tell pills were getting stuck again

So fat after this second one I had on Tuesday seems to be ok but for now... The Gi doc said the stricture usually closes some so that's why they have to keep dilating it so eventually it stays open enough!

I had my surgery back in October Still throw up on a regular basis (daily). No strictures. I did have fistulas early after my RNY. They finally figured out I was having esophagial and pouch spasms, they put me on a Medication called Levisin. It is for spasms specifically. I feel a lot better not perfect but getting better. Just some info.

wow. I"m at 6 and half weeks. No problems , nothing like what I am reading here. Guess am lucky. I puked once, was my own fault. didn't chew enough and I clogged up. Well it came back up after 20 min. Don't ever want to repeat. The pain!!!!

Yeah...four weeks out..started feeling nauseous. Went back kn liquids for two days felt better. Ate yesterday...feeling pukey now. About the only things that work are Soup and pretzel thins..about 2 at a time. The nut suggested saltines or other crackers but I don't think so. I guess I'll just take it really slow. Frustrating. I was tolerating everything really well too!
