Hi all, tomorrow morning I will have a scope to dilate where the stomach and the intestines are now connected. I have not been able to br ogress to regular foods because most everything puréed I up chuck. The barium swallow revealed it is to tight at this connection. I am a little worried my food will go right through after dilation. Therefore, I will be hungry cause it goes through smoothly. Anyone heard of this? Any thoughts? Please pray IV goes in on 1st stick. This place has the hardest time with me and I have not been able to get the recommended liquid intake. Thanks Everyone!!

Thank you so much @@AshleePage

Good thoughts for you.

I had the same problem! Tebowfan it will be over before you know it and it will help tremendously! i have had two strictures and two dilations. It will allow food to pass through normally, not to shoot through it and make you hungry! It is all good and this will help! Message me if you want.

Chin up tebowfan!

Try to push liquid today so they will have an easier time to find your veins and successfully start an IV! Very important for you right now to drink as much as you can. No excuse, ok?

Do not worry about the dilation, for most patients they often need to even repeat the procedure so I doubt they will make it too big...

Thank you everyone!! It's over and in on my way home. Prayers and good thoughts definitely helped cause the Iv went in smoothly!! Will let you know how it goes:)

Oh, I'm a terrible IV stick too so I know that anxiety. I'm glad it went smoothly for you. It's so hard to get the IV when you're dehydrated.

tebowfan how did it go? How are you?

It is going well. I haven't tried solids yet, but it seems like I'm more hungry. Probably my Tom though, lol. I have eaten puréed homemade Soup I made and tried chili puréed, which was something new and did great.

He took biopsies and I will get those results the first week of July. The dilation must have worked!

Thank you for checking up on my. It means a lot!
