I don't blame you for being discouraged. I would bug the doctor to get the prescriptions that will work for you. You might ask on here again for advice. I am sure you are not alone on your particular journey. ????

The only way they will change the meds is if they admit me to the hospital for review again for 24 hours. I have an 11 month old at home and I am trying so hard not to leave him since I was hospitalized 2 times last week.

I am home and feeling some comfort. I have been taken out of work for 3 weeks until the stent can be removed. I will have a picc line placed in my arm tomorrow and will be getting tpn (the stuff they put in feeding tubes) until.the stent is removed. I am so malnourished that my body is unable to heal and at this time they dont want my gi muscles to work. I have an IV at home that i can change and am trying to stay positive. This has to work and will work. 8 days down 20 more to go.

Wow, you are my hero! You have gone th though so much and with a baby. I am hopeful there is light at the end of the tunnel. You are brave!! Praying for you my friend.

Thank you! My husband and mom are angels. I wouldn't be able to do it without them.

I hit a brick wall again the stent migrated out of place. Next step is another revision surgery. Hopefully this is the last negative I have

Ugh, When will you have the revision and what will it consist of?

How are you feeling?

I am still dealing with my stricture. I am in the hospital weekly for dilations. Have made much progress. I do not want my surgeon to do surgery and having a hard time finding another doctor in my condition. I have had 12 procedures since my bypass August 25.

I have also been regularly following your story and am hoping for the very best outcome for you. I'm on day 5 of a band to bypass conversion. Please keep us posted. I had a lot of scar tissue too and surgeon had difficulty removing my band so I'm hoping I don't fall into this pattern.

[Whitar10 13]

I will keep you posted. It is my fear that the lack of experience of my surgeon is the reason for my difficulties. My dilation yesterday was the first one that the thoracic surgeon didnt have to remove sutures or staples. Wr are hoping that I can make progress now. I am trying to be hopeful my job is no longer understanding since i am in the hospital so frequently and I have a 14 month old. I keep fighting but it truly is causing lots of strain in my life.

If you haven't found an experienced surgeon by now, let the community know and we will find you one in your area.
