Topic: Revision done- Thanks to all of your *****sponded to my original post
I had a revision of my stricture done on Tuesday. It went well and I came home yesterday. They said I had a lot of scar tissue. They are fairly certain this willl fix the issue, but now I have to start over with clear fluids and then soups-yadayadayada. I am so pleased that most of you are doing so well. I hope to join you guys in being happy with my surgery. I was really doubting I had made the right decision despite the 65 lbs I lost in 10 weeks. I was miserable due to the vomiting and dehydration and hunger. I am hoping to have a "normal" recovery this go round. Thanks again to all of you who supported me when I was freaking out.

I get them a lot. Hopefully won't get them for awhile. I just had a revision of my anastomosis. I had a stricture that could not be dilated as there was too much scar tissue. Are you just now getting them or have you had them since the beginning?
Topic: RE: Question??? Before and After
Going to Bush Gardens later this month, planning Disney trip for October 2008, walk with my head held higher not looking at the floor, feeling confident and like what I see in the mirror as I melt away daily. Compliments from family friends and co-workers, and more energy.
