Who woulda thunk it? My Dr was right!

Went in for my endoscopy yesterday and told my surgeon prior to the procedure, that I didn't think he was going to find anything. That I thought it must be/had to be a psycologicial thing. He told me to wait and see, and that he was sure we'd find the cause of my eating/drinking problems. Glad I didn't bet him! The opening at the bottom of grouchy pouch was only 3mm! That explains why I couldn't eat and drinking was so difficult. He was able to dilate the opening to 10mm, and shortly after that I was able to drink my 1st NORMAL drink since prior to surgery!!! I even ate a REAL dinner tonite! (carrots, green beans, 2 bites of a wild ricee meatball, and some egg noodles w/stroganoff-type gravy on them) Dr. L said that about 95% of people that have a stricture dilated, won't have to do it again, 5% do. I'm hoping for the 95%!! Thanks again to everyone for your support and positive thoughts!!

Wow! Glad you got that taken care of. I'll bet you feel like a new woman!! Blessings, Ruth in Ohio

hey Traci, terrific news! Bet you really enjoyed dinner! CJ

Traci, I'm so glad you were able to have it dilated!! They couldn't do mine, but that's a whole other story!! Hoping you're in the 95%!! Hugs, Nancy -43
