Well first off....this week has been awesome!! I have started losing weight again after going through a phase of losing nothing for like 10 days after I started mushies. ANYWAYS.....last week was rough for me...I was put back in the hospital for having a stricture, ulcer and dehydration....for those of you who may not know what a stricture is....it is where your scar tissue closes up the opening from your stomach to your intestines.....

I early last week I noticed that I was having a really rough time eating deli meat which is pretty much what I had been living off of. I kept getting sick, of course each time I ate and it clogged me up I wouldnt be able to drink anything for HOURS.....I assumed that I was eating too fast. I called Jess after 2 or 3 days of this and she said I probably just upset my pouch so I had to switch to liquids and if it wasnt better by Friday I was to call back. So I did liquids for 2 days, everything was fine, until Friday morning I woke up and even the liquids wouldnt go down. I called the office and they told me to come in immediately. By the time I got to the office I was vomitting what looked like blood but it was actually bile. They put me on IV's for fluid because I was dehydrated from not being able to drink and they put me under and did a scope on me...they found the stricture, ballooned it open and in the process they found the ulcer which was caused by the stricture and they also found a pill stuck inside the stricture

YUCK! But either way they fixed me right up and I am doing soooo much better now....they really are great there. I just love Dr. Broussard and Walton...they are so caring and they just make you feel very special...So since then I've lost about 5 pounds and have gotten out of my little rut.....thanks for listening....

Bless your heart. I'm so glad you're feeling better. One of our other members with RNY just had a stricture and ulcer, too. I hope it's smooth sailing for you from here on out.

Blessings and Best Wishes! Shelly
