Stricture Twice And Then It Perforated Esophagus .... Bad

[Carol1965 0]

I had a stricture around the 5.5 week mark and had an endoscopy and dilation done (this was just before christmas) I have to take prevacid and a stomach coater to take care of an ulcer that is forming (i just love taking more medicine...NOT). I have to go back for another scope on the 30th of January to see if they need to dilate again. I still have difficulty with Water going down comfortably and seem to have lost the desire for all kinds of foods I used to enjoy and certain textures make me nauseous too.

I am also having a helluva time taking the Vitamins etc. that I am supposed to. Do you or anyone else suffer from having really dry eyes and I wonder if not getting enough fluids has a hand in that?
