After 5 Months Of Complications My Twisted Stricture Is Fixed! I Feel Sooo Blessed Not To Be Sick Anymore!

WOW!! It has been a looong road! I Was sleeved August 10 and didn't eat again until soft mushies Christmas Eve! I have had feeding tubes, stent operations, 6 dialations and let me tell ya, pnemonia, painful ear infections, thrush and sooo much awfulness. Sliming and foaming and sick. The doctors where sooo kind and willing to try anything to fix me... A twisted stricture doesnt happen all the time. On Dec 8 th they performed a strictureplasy. And I really feel like I have my life back again. I still have a J tube that comes out of my side and it hurts. But they will remove the bolsters soon (holds the intestine up) and then maybe another couple of weeks and the tube will be gone too! I am so happy that I am a regular sleeve patient now and I love my working sleeve, I love eating smaller portions. The doctor didnt charge for countless specialized care either. I had all three of their direct numbers. Did I mention that I am so happy to have a normal sleeve? Lol

My Stricture

Thanks guys. So happy to hear Meemee is Starting to feel better. My Stricture was caused by misinsertation of the bougie ( being pushed in to far) And the tauntness of the stomach being pulled across the bougie before stapleing. It is a complication of the surgery. Complications DO NOT happen often but when they do it is 100% you. My doctors had never seen this before. They are a centre of excellence. I am so grateful I had such careing doctors. And that I didnt end up with a gastric bypass or worse massive medical bills. As I am a Canadian with ironically no medical coverage in the states. I live very close to seattle so I would drive down with my husband for care. Any questions are welcome. Oh, by the way I feel great now with no major issues just reflux that I take omeprizol for. And I am 10 lbs away from goal!
