I don't know how long I can hold on...long vent

Hey,
There is no need to feel guilty. Any complication no matter how big or small is valid. I will for sure keep you all updated on how I am doing. If it happens again I will for sure let you know the decision on whether I have surgery again or choose and endoscopy.

You take care and talk to you soon.

Nathalie

Nathalie, with everything that you have been through it is no wonder you are feeling the way you are. It is certainly understandable for you to be so nervous and worried. You know you are in my prayers and I hope things will work out for you soon.

Thank you for keeping me in your prayers, I really appreciate it. I too hope this is all over but as I said before it is hard not to worry about the stricture coming back again. I hope it doesn't come back but if it does my surgeon at least is supportive and will support my decision whether it is surgery or another dilation.

Nathalie

I will keep you updated :)

hi nathalie-i dont have any words of wisdom to add but i do want to say;

stay strong and dont let the situation "beat" you mentally.

hang in there.  all my best to you-gisele

Thank you Gisele. I am really trying... I think that I was just bound to have a mental break and this weekend was it. I am feeling much better today so hopefully I stay that way.

Thanks again

Nathalie

Nathalie,

Aw I'm so sorry you have to go through to much.  You know that I am keeping you in thoughts and prayers.  I am SO glad that Linda chimed in because she too has gone though so much.  She can really speak first hand about multi strictures.    Know that we are here for you and will be here whenever you need us.  Gentle hugs and lots of love and support.  You vent away, and don't feel bad in the least, that's what we're here for.

Hugs and love,
Barb

Thanks for keeping me in your prayers. I really appreciate it. It's just I knew this was going to be hard but I had no idea it would be this. I hope that my problems are over with but until the day the stricture doesnt come back I am gonna worry. I have been a little better about calming down the last few days but it is hard to ignore it completely. Thanks for being there for me.

Nathalie :)

Nat, my surgery was the 29th, I probably saw you there. I just wanted to tell you I am so sorry to hear that you have had to go through all this. I was released three days latter and believe me I was going stir crazy in just a few days!

I probably did see you. I was on the 7th floor this time. I have been on both of the bariatric floors 5 and 7. Most of the nurses know me there by name as soon as I walk in the door. The nurses on 5/7 are the same they just rotate between floors. I love them all there, they have always been so nice to me compared to my nightmare stay at Kaiser Fontana.

I hope you are well and recovering great. Talk to you later :)
