Pain after stricture dilation



Recommended Posts

I just had my stomach dilated after the surgeon found a stricture. I have been having intense pain in my stomach and side ever since. Has anyone else had this? It hurts worse than after my sleeve surgery.

If it's been more than 2 days, contact your surgeon/surgical team and let them know. But pain is going to happen after forcefully stretching a part of your digestive system.

And it did not, Dr Noria also found ulceration down there and on back wall of my jejunem. So now on Carafate every 6 hours- 6am- Noon-6pm-Midnight, upped my Omeprazole to 2x daily, told me to maintain same diet, using the term loosely for my puny liquids and October 26th we try again, maybe swelling/ulceration, whatever stopped her before has subsided and,she can move ahead with dialating me, Ellie123 had hers done on the past Monday, she felt so much like a brand-new woman she was able,to take a business trip to the UK. I WANT THAT!

I don't mean to be mean or something, but I forgot Sleevers could get structured also, guess I thought only Bypassers got this.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
