sclerotherapy today
Well, today is the day for my sclerotherapy procedure. It is a procedure designed to shrink my stoma, so food stays in my pouch longer, thus giving me a sense of fullness for a longer period of time. This is designed to help with weight loss, but more importantly to help maintain the weight I have already lost.

Good luck today. Let us know how it goes -- we expect a full report. :-)
Do they expect to have to do the procedure more than once? From what I've read it might take 3 or 4 treatments for the full effect.

I was home by lunch, but when the doctor said it was painful, he understated that. 6 hours later and I am still in pain. I could hardley walk to the bathroom. They gave me two morphine shots in the recovery area and I am on liquid vicodin.
My doctor does not think I will have to have it repeated. My opening was 16mm wide and they like it to be between 12 and 15. So he is pretty sure I will only need the one shot - Thank God for that.
He said I could eat a normal meal when I got home. I had coco wheats for lunch. Not sure how that actually hit as I was on drugs. Just tried a little chicken breast and 1/2 cup of mashed potatoes. Got through the mashed pototoes ok, but the chicken - not a chance. I am in more pain now than I was right after my gastic bypass or abdominal plasty. Can't get a good deep breath.
I will keep you all posted on how this works.

When did you have yours and how did it work for you. I am really glad I took today off also. I am still having some cramping. Which I almost think is a bowell issue. But when I stand my pain is really bad.
I have some errands to run later this afternoon, so I am trying just tylenol until I get back.
