How many times wasthe balloon dilation procedure done to get rid of strictures?

I had the balloon dilation with steroid shot Monday for a stricture I developed after my July lap rny. I am still having trouble with solid protein. How often does the procedure usually have to be done to finally completely rid the esophagus of the strictures? I am very happy about being off my Diabetes meds and Insulin and the 44lb weight loss, so far; but am concerned about the strictures. It is very painful and due to not being able to eat enough solid protein, my energy level is still low causing me not to exercise as much and I hit a plateau. I am frustrated and worried.
