Stenosis!!!

Dec 01, 2010

So the last few days have been really awful. I've been throwing up after everything I eat and in immense pain and feeling like I'd made the biggest mistake of my life in having RNY surgery. So I went to the doctor today and told them what's up and as it turns out I've developed stomal stenosis, which, as I'm sure you all know, is "a narrowing (stricture) of the new connection between the stomach and lower intestine" (http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/1900639). To be honest, I'm relieved. It's a relatively simple fix (upper endoscopy where they use a balloon to dilate it) and I'll be good as new! Unfortunately that means I'm back on liquids for the next few days :( but after that I should be able to handle some real food! Yes!!!!!!!!
