I CAN EAT!
I had a stricture also and had the balloon dilation procedure 2 wks ago - I feel like a new person. It is so amazing. The idea of the procedure scared me - I was so reluctant to go under general anesthesia again - but almost instantly I was able to keep food down. Within 48 hrs I was feeling noticably stronger and a week later I felt great. I feel so good now, partly because I felt so bad before. The difference is incredible!
