It's time for an eviction!!!!!!! I am so done with this

I want this stricture gone!  evicted! It's not welcome anymore!   I want it gone forever never to return again.

I tried eating a little bit of crab last night......thought I was doing good. Usually I know within 10-15 minutes whether the food will stay down....but not this time....nope.  I woke up at 2:30am and have been throwing up or ......trying to throw up since.  Something is stuck and it aint budging this time.

vomited a little dark blood..(old blood from the ulcer I am sure)  but I am fast beginning to just give up eating all together.  Too tired of vomiting.  It's beginning to really hurt my throat everytime I throw up.  which can be anywhere from 1 - 4 times a day depending what I attempt to eat or drink!

I called my PCP today.  They finally sent the request for authorization for Dr Crookes (USC) to try dilating me again.  So once again.......I am waiting.  I am really beginning to get depressed over this. 

Thanks everyone for letting me vent.

Hi hon,

I know you are so frustrated and I frankly, don't know how you do it, but know that your friends love you, and that we are here for you.  I am so sorry that you have to put up with this pain in your arsh all the time. 

Hugs and love, hang in there,   Diane

Oh wow....this sucks but you'll get better soon.  Christine Matthews had the exact same issue you did and she'll be able to let you know her experience.  She overcame all the strictures.  You're not alone on this one...Many have the same issue and get over it after several dialations...Good luck!

Thanks Gus.  I am trying to remain optimistic....some days are harder than others.  I am confident it will be fixed....I just want it done.......Yesterday......LOL

Hi Linda, I hope this is the last time and I agree with you that this stricture crap has gone on long enough.  Wishing you well.

That totally sucks!  I am sorry that you are in so much agony.  Vent all you want, you totally deserve it.

How many times have they dilated you? usually the third one does the trick. Hope you feel better soon. Try doing a puree diet again for awhile....let your pouch rest so to speak.

been done about 7-8 times

 

I have been dilated 8 times already, and Pureed is about all I have been eating for over a year now.

Linda,

Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers that you'll get rid of the stinky stricture soon.

Hugs,
Barb
