Holy Strictures Batman!

Aug 12, 2010

I had my scope done today, to find out why I keep all the time (I've wanted to use that icon for awhile now!!!  Score 1 for Kylie!!)  Turns out, I had a super duper stricture!!  My surgeon said my stoma was the size of a pinpoint, and that it was even holding water!  Apparently there were little bits of food still in there that wouldn't go through....YUCKO!!!!   Anyway, he ballooned it out, and said I should be able to immediately tell the difference, but I have to go in for another one in two weeks to get it all the way stretched out to where it should be.  FUN STUFF!!!

However, tonight I was finally able to eat some soup and mashed potatoes, and I didn't get the nauseous feeling I normally do, so WHOOHOOO!!!!  I have told anyone who will listen, if I had to have any kind of complication with my RNY, this is what I would choose.  I mean, literally, I went to the hospital, I didn't even have to take off my clothes, the stuck an IV line in me, gave me the good juice (), and then sprayed my throat with some stuff to numb it.  The whole procedure was like maybe 5 minutes.  Of course, I slept the rest of the afternoon, and I am ready to go to bed tonight, and my throat is a little sore, but that's all there is to it.   I'm just really glad that I went ahead and got it done today instead of waiting it out for awhile!!!
