Update on vomoiting !

Hello all, I went to Carmel yesterday to Dr. Huse and he sent me straight to the hospital for a scope. I got in there and my stoma was only 1mm open. They dilated it to 15 mm. I was so tired the rest of the day and night. I slept the whole 2 hours home and then some when I got home. I went to bed at 8:30 p.m. and slept till 10:30 a.m. I was still a little tired when I got up, but I did feel better. I actually ate today and kept the food down. It felt so good not to be vomiting. Thanks for all the prayers and thoughts. Tammy

Im so glad you are doing better. relax and take it easy. your in my prayers

I hear many people with the same issue. You have done well. Take care. Liz

Liz, Back when I was having all my stricture issues, I was told that statistically, about 20% of post-ops have a stricture. If a person has to have an endo due to a stricture, they typically have to have 3 endo's total (to ensure that the stoma remains open****ationally, there are people like me who have to have multiple ones. It has been awhile since those days, but I would guess that the statistics are probably about the same today. It just seems like alot because we only hear about those who need the endo's...not about the 80% who don't. Sherri

ahhh you'' feel better now... Sometimes I think mine is TO big... seems like nothing stays in my pouch long. I feel it in my intestines in no time. Linda

Tammy... Glad you're all better now! See? Piece of cake, huh? Sherri

So glad you went and got it taken care of. I am surprised you kept anything down with such a small opening. Take it easy and hopefully it's smooth sailing for you now! (((hugs))) Ellen

Tammy Glad things are better for you. I thought it would have been if you used the title "UPCHUCK UPDATE" I guess I look for humor in everything in life. Dan
