Michelle,
Sorry to hear about your stricture. My sister also had the same thing happen at about 20 days post op. She is going for her 3rd dilation next week. Not everyone needs 3, but her body makes scar tissue very easily.
Good luck with everything & thank god it's a complication with an easy fix.
Great job on the weight loss.......wooo hooooo
Keep us posted
