Give Me Your Thoughts Please....having Complications



Recommended Posts

Ok, so I have posted I had surgery in November 2011....I have a stricture....imagine that.....anyways, I have lived miserably with this for months and the surgeons solution was to dilate or stretch with an upper GI....the first one no success....the second maybe some change....NOW nothing works for me....anyways followed up with surgeon today and told him basically you are going in to fix this.....two options: bypass the stricture which will make me a gastric bypass patient now or try to cut around the stricture and see how that heals up and see if it will tighten again......I am nervous but want this fixed....I am leaning towards the bypass, but UGH.....any comments or thoughts....

My only comment is good luck! I know nothing about which works best to cure a stricture, but I definitely feel for you!

I have no advice, but I wish you the best of luck and hope they can figure out a solution.

Get it fixed any way you can! If it's the gastric bypass, then that it is. You don't need to be suffering anymore. It is kinda scary the thought of just cutting it out. :(
