josee67 40 Posted April 20, 2012 I was starting to think I was the only one having the problem. I already had 1 endoscopy done and will most likely have to have it done again. My doctor saus most patients have to have it done 2 times so we will see Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jackie0384 52 Posted April 20, 2012 Yeah I get the feeling of it after just a sip of anything or one bite food no matter how good I chew. Geez 2 endoscopes. That's great! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anjela424 23 Posted April 20, 2012 I had the endoscopy this morning and they said I had some stricture. They said scar tissue had formed around the opening of my pouch restricting my food intake but allowing fluids to pass through. They said the opening was really small. I have to have the procedure done again next week but honestly this is the most comfortable I've felt since before surgery. I even at 3 bites of mashed potatoes without feeling sick or like something was caught in my throat 2 FlyAwayFree and Time4achangeMD reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jemjem 2 Posted April 21, 2012 Mine isn't to bad anymore I'm thinking. Mine might have been the swelling but don't wanna ginx myself I'm not sure what mine was as it only happened a few times, and hasn't happened for ages now. I hope everyone else's problem is sorted soon xx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
