Stricture post revision.



Recommended Posts

Has anyone not had resolution from a stricture via endoscopic balloon dilation. I had my 3rd dilation in a month yesterday and it was not successful. I have built up a tolerance to the medicine and woke up mid procedure. Is surgery the only next option?

I did not have a revision, just hernia surgery and RNY,but I have had three endoscopies with dilations for strictures. I have no idea where I go from here.

I meet with my surgeon in a week to find out whats next. Im just nervous since i had band removal, rny and 3 endoscopies in 6 months. I have an 11 month old also so this entire process is taking a toll. Im so afraid of not getting better.

Sorry to hear that. I have been pretty bad off since surgery as well. My dr talked about a revision of my surgery. I am hoping it doesn't come to that.

Im hoping i dont need a revision surgery as well. They talked abouta suture but if it fails will cause more complications. I just want to do what fixes the issues

It is my impression if you need 3 or more dilations there is an option for a stent. The nurses said that is not what they prefer to do but they will if you need it. i had 2 strictures and have been ok since. I pray for you!

I had an appointment with my surgeon yesterday and he said he thinks I may need one more. He also said after 5 dilations they would consider the stent.

Whew! That is a relief. Then hang in there and realize this will all be worth it down the road this is just the bumpy part.

My dr said that they dont think a Stent will work and could cause more issues if it doesnt solve my issues. I am 4 days post dilation and my stricture has shut again. I see my surgeon on Wednesday hoping for good news

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
