Stricture UPDATE!

Ok, well I ended up having that procedure where they stick the scope down to your pouch. Well I had Dr. Kathwala (I think I spelled that wrong) Anyway, he ended up widening my esophogas and my pouch a little. He said I have been having acid reflux and it caused a small ulcer to form in my esophagas and in turn that casued scar tissue to start forming and so he medicated the area and my pouch he didn't think was that bad off but he widened it a little so I could actually eat lol, he figured that would be a good thing. The procedure was fairly fast and painless, haven't had any problems with discomfort, a little irritated throught afterwards, and tiredness (whats new) but besides that, I feel fine. He put me on Protonics and said I should be feeling better by Monday...I'm supposed to call them and let them know how I am doing. But I thinks thats all I had to say. God Bless! :) 

oh my goodness, what a bump in the road that was, hopefully its better now.  I'm surprised an ulcer was able to form that quickly..yikes!  Did the Dr. say if this could be an ongoing thing or if your good to go now?  I was told that this surgery would take care of my reflux, in fact they undid my Nissen procedure, so it better...(insert nervous laugh here)  I'm glad you'll actually be able to get some food down now.  Hope you are on the mend now and your good to go :)  

The ulcer was small, and he medicated it he said *shrug*. He said the procedure should help with the eating and drinking, but I still have had some issues with the foamy feeling and once in a while and I still gag errr. I think it's getting better. But anyway, I have been able to eat and keep it down and taking the Protonics has been going ok. The pepcid AC I was on they said sometimes isn't enough for some peoples pouches (apparently I produce more acid than others). I don't know how long I'll be on this stuff but the meds say it's not a long term medication. I have my 6 week follow up with Dr.Kavlie and the RD on the 13th so we will see what happens. 

I'm late to the game but I hope things are going ok now!
