Since my surgery on Jan 9th, it's been difficult to drink and take in full liquids. What I mean by difficult is that it hurt after about 2 bites. Even liquid felt weird going down. My weight loss has been very slow. Doc said it is because I didn't have a lot to loss and I would lose slowly. . After looking online I figured my body was in starvation mode due to 300-450 cals a day.

So, my doc decided to scope me this Friday, but on Thursday morning I rushed myself to ER after trying to puke or swallow (whichever came first) 1 sip of coffee! They found I was completely closed off! My structure was 100%. After fixing it I'm completely shocked. Liquids and everything goes down. I just thought what I was feeling was normal. , so for those that are having issues, go get checked!

I'm so glad your okay. Also, thank you for the heads up. It's definitely something to watch out for.

So glad you listened to your body, glad your ok

U had my surgery 1-18th and I sometimes I get this really crazy scary issue like that feeling I have a huge ball stuck after drinking that I wAnt to swallow or throw up and I can't do nether. It hurts when I drink too. Than it goes away. It's hard to get down my shakes And I do feel I'm not eating enough or drinking I can't even get down mire than 24 oz in a day

Tina, call your doc. That's what I was doing and didn't knowingly was supposed to feel any different. The procedure was easy and I went straight home. I finally ate today. Taco bell pintos and cheese for lunch and for dinner!

loving.life, I am so glad to know you sought help and they were able to fix your stricture as you have had some real difficulty the past couple of months...and nutrition is already improving! Great news!

Glad you are doing ok. I agree, if something seems wrong go get checked out.

What did they have to do to fix it?

Wow...how scary! I am glad that you said it was no big deal though. Glad you are on the mend.

Tina, it's just like when they scope you. Same meds and all, then the stretch it with a small balloon while your under. It takes 10 minutes and you wake up feeling so much better

Tina I am so glad that you are better and thank you for sharing your story I gave not had my procedure yet but reading stories like yours helps prepare me. Thanks again.

So Friday I was back in ER.. stricture was back. I could tell after 5 days things seemed tighter. 2 strictures 8 days apart.. procedure still the same, very easy, no problem.. I'm gonna be one of those people that have scar tissue issues. Always have.
