Hey Sweety Pooh, I had the same problem and ended up going into surgery 2 more times after my orginial surgery,, it was all within 1 month after my first one,, It wasn't that bad though,, the surgeries went great though and it helped sooo much,, The first surgery I went to they had to go through the same incisions and they cut a massive amount of scar tissue< I found out I am keloid , so I had alot of scar tissue> ,, Then I had the same problem a week later and I just went back and had the scope thing done and that was easy as **** and The doctor said next time if I had a prob ,we knew what the prob was and it would out patient thing.. Sorry you had soo many problems , it does suck not being able to even hold down water. I hope you feel better and everything is solved.. Let us know.

Sherry I was hoping it wasn't a stricture but looks like your surgeon has taken good care of you. I hope your feeling better. Take Care Kay

you are on your way Angela..,keep us posted!!

Hey Sherry.. I am sorry you are having to go through this.. I had a bad time of this also, had 4 dialations and the forth ruptured... read my profile if you have time.... ended up with 2 more emergency surgeries... But... please don't be alarmed... I know others that dialation worked well with. I know they had to wait a while to do the dialation, as the original surgery has to heal.... All this to say... after all I went through, and nearly leaving this world... I would do it all over again!!!!! The setbacks won't last forever.. and I am living proof, things do improve and life gets better. I am glad your surgeon is doing all he can, that makes the difference! I will be thinking of you and wishing you a speedy recovery!!!! Take care!!! Mike

Thanks Tony, ...I also have a bruised hand because I didn't catch the ball right..but gosh I feel so good getting out there and just doing it!! call me when you can Brenda

Sweety Pooh, I am sorry to hear about the problems you are having, but I am really happy to hear about the 71lbs you are down. I hope things start to get better for you soon. Melissa
