Hi!

Having surgery Wednesday for a stricture near pouch. What should I expect in the way of pain or recovery?

I haven't had one, but have seen a lot of accounts here.

Be prepared to need more than one procedure. They don't want to stretch it too far, so they frequently have to go back 2 and even 3 times to get it just right. It's a pain in the butt, but you'll be better off.

It's pretty straightforward, and everyone feels so much better when it's opened up.
