Revision Surgery

Hi everyone.  I have to undergo revision surgery on Tuesday. In November we discovered an ulcer, and as a direct result, I ended up with a stricture on my esophagus.  My doctor tried to dilate in March, but my pouch perforated, and the next day, I was so sick. As it turned out, my gall bladder turned gangrenous. So, I still have a stricture and throw up nearly everything solid. 

I have heard that the revision surgery is rather difficult.  Can anyone fill me in as to what I need to look forward to?

 

 

I'm becoming half the person I was...but I'm also becoming twice the woman!

You may want to post on the revision board if you have not already done that.
