I talked to several nurses in my surgeon' office 3 weeks ago and they believe I have a stricture. I have had to go back to liquids since then. They told me my surgeon won't do a EGD until we are 6 weeks post. I will be 6 weeks this Thursday. I'm planning to call tomorrow to see if they will schedule me finally.

You know... I could deal with the vomiting when things get stuck. The pain though is nearly unbearable! It's getting steadily worse and when I drink now I feel the pain though its tolerable unlike when I have anything that's not a total liquid. Even puréed foods cause crazy pain.

The other night I had to make my best friend pull over so I could puke on the side of the road! I really think if they won't schedule me I may go crazy.

So glad you have an answer!

Glad to hear that they are finally doing something about it. I just had my stricture dilated this morning and have a follow-up EDG in two weeks to see progress. Clear liquid diet for two days. Annoyed but at least I may be out of the woods for now.

Just got back to my room from EGD. They did find a stricture and dilated it. So happy to know I'll get better. Hoping to go home today.

Thank you everyone for your support!

Yay! That's great news!!

So happy that all of you are finally getting relief!

Glad to hear you were finally able to get the EGD. Hopefully you've found some relief now.

They are keeping me again overnight. They are going to move me from liquids ( which I'm on at the moment) to purée/ soft foods and see how I do before they let me go. Just making sure the EGD was successful or if I need another dilation.

I'm glad they are really making sure I'm good.

So glad yore doing better....any idea why they wouldn't look until you were 6 weeks out??? Seems kinda cruel and unusual and risky?

I'm thinking they wanted to make sure it wasn't just swelling or usual nausea. I knew something was wrong but I guess they hear that a lot? Not sure but I was miserable.

I'm glad you finally got the treatment you needed. You'll be feeling better soon.

Off IV fluids as of this morning and they said I can go home this afternoon.

Ate breakfast! Real food! Grits, eggs, and toast. I finished most of it. I kept waiting for it to hurt and it never did. I'm so relieved that I can eat again.

Just took a shower and it felt wonderful!

I understand how bad that is. My doc made me wait till I was 6 weeks and it started at 3 weeks out. I feel for you! It won't last forever though.
