Stricture recovery time



Recommended Posts

I'm currently in a weird place. 6 years out from my gastric bypass, 33 weeks pregnant, and on a feeding (nj) tube because I have a peptic ulcer and stricture so bad that I cant even keep Water down. This is my first time having a stricture diagnosis. From what I'm told it is one of the worst most of the doctors here have seen. They had to navigate a wire through the stricture first just so they could have a feeding tube get in to my intestine. Doctors are thinking a ballooning of the stricture wont work because there is a lot of scar tissue. Surgery/ revision was mentioned. Has anyone had a surgery to correct this issue before? What was the down time? I currently have to wait 3 weeks to have my baby, then schedule a surgery. I'm just trying to see what the road ahead will look like. I haven't eaten anything since Thanksgiving and am going a little crazy not even being able to keep water down orally.
