jerz 251 Posted February 25, 2013 It gets better!!! I had the CT scan last month. That stuff is nasty you have too drink!! And a lot of it too boot with a tiny stomach. The EDG for stricture dilatation is very easy I had one last month and after debating with the nurse, we decided that I should just chug the liquid that they add to the Water straight like a shot. That worked much better as opposed to trying to drink all of that Water SD:1/28/13 HW:358 SW:338 CW:306 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I saw someone at some point recommending for nausea also, wasn't sure what it really did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nienie 113 Posted February 25, 2013 If you are having nausea you should get a prescription for sublingual Zofran.. Helps tremendously... Most surgeons and doctors have no problem prescribing especially since nausea can sabotage our day for eating and drinking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TinyMamiOf3kids 1,280 Posted February 25, 2013 Mine was throwing up non stop after 3 months post up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jessica9190 127 Posted February 25, 2013 I wasn't throwing up constantly but that's probably because I wasn't eating. I was dehydrated and low on Vitamins especially potassium but getting all that through IV now. Hopefully by tomorrow all will be good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kisersassy 369 Posted February 26, 2013 Did they put you to sleep for your dilatation?? How long were you there after? I know i was told but can't remember... I was put to sleep released same day. The second time I was in hospital for 5 days. Went in Christmas day Tuesday They fixed the stricture on a Wednesday then ultrasound on Thursday and gall bladder removal on Friday came home on Saturday 1 nienie reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
