A stricture is a blockage just below the pouch. You see it when people go to puree and can't hold it down, throw it back up. It can be treated with a simple procedure at a gastroentrologist (sp). They will put you under in their office. They will then put a scope down your throat and go past the pouch. They then blow up a small balloon past the pouch that will enlarge an area that has been tighted. Usually 70% of strictures get resolved the first time. Some people have to go back a second or third time to get them resolved. Not saying you have one, it just common and should be checked with your Dr. If you don't, then I would say please follow (with love), Card's advise...Brian
