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 Tammy

I'm glad your dad made you go and that the doctors were able to take care of you so quickly. I hope your next one fixes it permantly! Dawn
