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.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
