Hello,

I am curious what you feel with your stricture. I have one, I have been dilated once and I am going in again. I am worried and freaked out. My journey has been long. It all started out with a leak.

Curious what you physically feel with your stricture? Have you healed? How many dilations did you have? Have you been asked to convert to bypass? Does the prospect scare you?

I feel blindsided by this stricture. I thought this was a complication would world occur early on. I am 2.5 years out and this is now my issue. The sleeve experience has been less than desirable. I am so very regretful of the sleeve... I wish I could go back in time.. but cant.. So, I am working to make peace with this situation.

Anyhow, look forward to hearing what you experience with your stricture.

Best,

Sannah

I call it "the flow" not slimes

It doesnt matter how much or how little i eat. food or Fluid i can get the flow.

I vomit randomly as well. Often its bright green vomit.

I just had one 2 weeks ago and am going again this Tuesday for another dilation. I just want to eat and drink without the pain!! My doctor told me be prepared for at least 4 dilations ????

Does this only happen if you over eat? Or eat something you shouldn't? It sounds God awful!

no....I do not eat much anyway, especially as the day goes on. I cannot say I have overeaten...it is not possible for me to get that much solid food in. i still utilize liquids mostly. egg whites in the morning. I concur with a previous member's post about the terrible feeling of food being stuck in the esophagus....it just sits there until I vomit. I see my GI MD next week and I am just 3 years out (7-27-12). sometimes I will try a solid and it stays down but hurts and I am always nauseous - the next time I try that same food, I vomit. I never know. I pretty much do not try to eat in public.

I was 6 years out and had a revision roux n y on June 8. I threw up all the time. Come to find out my previous doctor left a not needed piece of intestine called a blind loop. Food was going to my new stomach and to this intestine and creating bacteria. I also had a hiatal hernia. If it wasn't for the strictures I would feel great. I am very great full my new doctor took the time to solve the problem.

Ilovecats. How was revision? Dr had talked about this.

I am pregnant and having dilation. Very scared. I cant really eat.

Surgery was perfect.
