Strictures

[msraza1982 24]

At 2 weeks post op I started having horrible nausea. By week 3 I could barely keep Water down. I was so worried that I was being a whiner that I waited until that 3rd week to call my doctor. It turned out I had stricture. Yesterday I had an EGD and got it stretched. I felt awesome last night. I had eggdrop Soup with not even a bit of nausea. Today I woke up feeling good had about a 1/4 cup of soup and felt nauseated again. Also I'm getting nauseated by water again. Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem and has anyone had a stricture come back quickly?

Yes! I had a stricture about 3 weeks out. Got so bad with not keeping liquids down even. Was soo extremely dehydrated they couldn't even draw blood for labs. Stuck me 9 times to find a vein for an IV they had to numb my arms after stick number 3. Lol had an emergency EGD, felt great after. Except they tore my throat up during it. But, 3 days later I couldn't keep anything down at all again. Had another one done. I've been able to keep things down now. It just hurts to swallow liquids. Feels like a rock. But, she said the opening was still small so she scheduled me for a 3rd EGD July 11th. I'm 8 weeks out total now.
