Stricture update

Went in for my endoscopy on Thursday. I definitely had a stricture and needed to be dilated.  Dilation was done and I went home.  Few hours later I was back in the hospital because I had a small rupture.  It was the worst pain ever in my life.  I had surgery that night to repair my rupture and I just got home a few hours ago.  Still very happy with my surgery and my surgeon.  I  can already feel a huge difference.  Hope everything goes up from here and the weight loss goes down. Also, I gained about 14lbs from fluids in the hospital. So saddened but hopefully those will go soon.

 So sorry you had to experience a rupture!  Glad you are safely home!  I had a stricture and felt so much better after it was dilated.   Keep up the great attitude!!!

Thanks everyone. I am definitely staying positive about all of this.  I have gained about 13lbs from the fluids but it was needed since I was so dehydrated.  Hopefully this is my last bump in the road. Good luck to everyone else
