Stricture

Jan 03, 2009

I was reading my previous blog - wow how things change!  I developed a stricture at about 3 weeks out.  I couldn't drink water, soup, ANYTHING.  My doctor admitted me to the hospital last week and pumped me full of fluids, and then did an EGD and found the stricture.  After dilating it, I am now able to tolerate liquids, vitamins, and I am feeling so much better.  Planning on going back to work next week.

I am still struggling with the protein a bit, but I know it'll get better.  I'm on liquids for another two weeks, and he'll probably have to do another EGD w/dilation in the upcoming months.  It wasn't until this week that I actually started to like my sleeve.  I am down almost 40 lbs.  I'm going to upload my 1 month and previous pictures here soon. 

This is like Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, but I can feel my confidence coming back, and I can't wait to get back into the gym.  My goal is to be at 200 by my birthday.  (May).
