Well, my surgeon thinks I have a stricture (can’t keep food down). I’m having a endoscopic dilation tomorrow. Has anyone gone through this and did the dilation do the trick?

yes - and yes! It's an easy, painless procedure and you should feel a gazillion percent better afterward!

Yes and it works well ❤

Yes. Had one yesterday. I’m back on liquids for a week the soft foods for two weeks. So far it’s all good

Thanks for your replies! I had my procedure today and I have a severe stricture that will require multiple dilations a week apart. So, it’s back to liquids for me now. But, it will be much better then getting sick every day. Looking forward to better days.

My stricture was severe as well. I needed 6 dilations to fix the problem permanently. Was on liquids for months, but I'm a rare case!! Feel fine now, at 11 months post bypass. Hope you're doing better real soon!

Briswife, I’m glad to hear you’re doing well. It gives me hope. Thank you for sharing.
