Shoot! I think I have a stricture

[Alexis99 67]

Hi everybody, I will be 7 weeks post rn.y tomorrow. Since last Thursday I've been having the feeling of food being stuck in my throat. Over the weekend it lasted for 48 hours and that was while I was on liquids only. The surgeon ordered an upper GI for me tomorrow. Super annoyed, but what can I do? It comes with the territory right? Just curious if anyone has had this.. did one endoscopy take care of it or did you have to have multiple? Feeling annoyed.

I did have a stricture. Was dialated yesterday. Fingers crossed one and done. Although today I still have the feeling of food being stuck.

Unfortunately I'm becoming an expert on structures. The esophagus ones seem to have settled into just inflammation but I have it bad at the bottom of the pouch into small intestines. I've had it dialated multiple times (approximately every 3-4 weeks).
But I have had multiple complications including perforations that forced the dr to convert sleeve to bypass as an emergency. So maybe mine is unusually bad. Good luck!

I had this at 8 weeks post up, they thought it was a stricture. Went in for the upper endo and it ended up being an ulcer. If that happens message me. It's an entirely different beast good luck!!!

@jill doing better now, I ended up having 2 endoscopies. How are you doing?

I've had a couple of strictures. Yesterday the Dr inserted a stint. At first I felt great but now I have that same feeling like the food is getting caught. I'm so sick of all of this. I want to go back to one day pre-op and say no to the surgery.
