Anyone with a stricture

[lgravois 20]

Has anyone had a structure causing them to feel horrible and vomit... if so how long did it take you to stop vomiting and feel better once this was fixed

I had two bad strictures. Both times they were so tight even Water would make me vomit and get the slimmies. My first one was immediately relieved after an endoscopy. My second one came two weeks after the endoscopy and was just as tight. Again after a second endoscopy it was immediate relief (minus the sore throat you get from the scope)

@@LipstickLady I know had a stricture, maybe she'll have time to pop in and share her experience.

My stricture is very slight. I love it and it keeps me honest. I refuse to get it corrected, in fact. It keeps me from eating more than a nibble of soft bread, Pasta, potatoes, rice...

I can't eat fast, I have to chew well, and dry foods don't work.

Water is hard, but I am working through it and it is getting easier.

At this point I can't eat at all... and I want some normalcy... but I will def let y'all know what happens.

I don't think it's normal for people to keep their strictures. I think it could be dangerous. It's important to discuss these things with your surgeon and follow their procedures. Please be aware that a stricture can cause you to become quite ill. Please be careful folks!

I have one now and it is god awful. I go tomorrow for the endoscopy. I been struggling for 2 weeks with it and cry everyday. Even Water is horrible. I can't wait for tomorrow to start feeling normal again.

My dr explained that it may take a few stretches depending on how tight it is. I'm just hoping it works on the first shot
