EGD and dialation, today.

Hello to all, I'm a little tired, so please forgive me. I have been having a problem with my stricture, for quite a while now, and I finally went in, today, for my EGD and dialation. When I woke up the doc said that my opening was half the size it was supposed to be . I was just so glad that it could be fixed, and that it was a function of my new physiology, not something I could've helped, that I was actually crying about it. My coordinator and rny surgeon kept telling me to wait it out and it would resolve itself, if I just gave it a chance. I think 11 weeks of waiting proved them wrong, not to mention all the hardship I went through. Vomiting when I tried to eat, or only being able to eat liquid, puree, and pudding, etc. I'm so glad it's over. My GI doc, that did the dialation, said he wants to go back in, in about 2 months if I don't have problems sooner, to make sure it didn't close up again. I have to be on soft foods for three days (an improvement from what I have been having), and then I can go to a regular diet again. I am so ready to do this thing right, and now that my tool's ready too, I'm on my way. Look out world, onderland is in my future.... and deli meat... Gosh Silence is golden, but duct tape is silver -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- One by one, the penguins steal my sanity.

Gosh, I'm so glad you were able to get some help with your stricture. I think you are amazing. In the face of this frustrating situation you've been in, you still take time to make us all smile. Thanks for being you. Rebecca

Thanks, you're so sweet! Gosh

Hurray !! So glad that you are one the road to recovery ! You did a great job hanging in there ( I know, at times you didn't have alot of choice) but I am proud of you !

Thanks, I'm so glad that I'll be able to use my 'tool' the way I'm supposed to, now. Look out Publix, I'm comming for some deli meat. Gosh

I am happy for you Gosh, that you will be on your way to losing more weight! Proud of you for staying sane through it all! Hugs peggy

Sane??? Where? Thanks Gosh .... one by one the penguins steal my sanity

Hello Gosh, I am so happy to know they finally fixed that stricture for you. Geesh, those doctors really made you suffer by making you wait it out so long. Enjoy your tool....and work it girl!!! Elisa

Hi, Thanks. I've been rather fustrated with the docs and coordinator, to tell the truth, myself. I wonder how many calories this burns? Gosh ...one by one the penguins steal my sanity

Gosh, Congrats on jumping this hurdle with grace! I know it was frustrating all these weeks but you hung in there. Hope this turn in the road puts you on a downhill street past lots of pretty shops where you can buy new stuff in smaller sizes!!! J.
