Yes, of course other people have had strictures. Go to the top right hand of the page and search stricture for previous discussions.

Hope you feel better soon.

Happened to me- happens to lots of people. Not a big deal. I was miserable with mine but once my doc did the scope and stretched things back out I've felt much better. You will too and the scope is nothing to worry about!

Hello! I had a stricture that required four procedures to open it. The area my food had to pass through was a mere 4 mm (or is it cm). I would vomit anything that wasn't liquid and even some liquid would come up. The procedure itself was easy. I would feel nauseous for a day or two following the procedure (but that was nothing new for me). I DID lose my weight very quickly because of this. It's scary but you should be just fine. I'm now at a 12 mm/ cm and no more vomiting. Hang in there!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
