Stricture confirmed.......
The dr confirmed I have a stricture. They went in and stretched it once. Now they have to go in again next week and do it again. From what I hear it can take up to 4 times to get it totally open. This has been a very rough ride and I am very discouraged. My blood pressure is low because with the stricture I am unable to get the calories and water in as much as I should causing me to be dizzy and get headaches. I had to switch to Gatorade to try to get that better. I hope I can do better and get better. This is really frustrating to me. And the money out of pocket for all these procedures is adding up quite quickly............
So sorry all this is happening for you. I hope it all resolves without you having to go thru that many procedures to get you taken care of. I'm sure it is tough to deal with now...but in the long run....you will still be happy you did this.
Sending good vibes your way.
