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.

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.

They only saw my stricture when they did the barium tablet. liquids passed just fine and so when gastrografin- liquid went through fine I told them that. The tablet they could see get stuck.

So they have done gastrografin test and barium tablet. The tablet test showed what they think is a stricture. My pee was brown and they think I have a UTI as well. So they are starting antibiotics and I'm on fluids as well.

They are admitting me probably for the night. They are looking at doing the EGD in the morning to correct the stricture.

I don't want to stay but I am glad they are going to fix me!
