This explains why ALL solid food keeps getting stuck! I am scheduled for the EGD on Friday morning at 8:30am. They said I should be done within 2 hours.

Has anyone ever had this done? Will I be able to go right to the store and open? I know I can't drive, but he said it is only a 10 minute procedure, so I am hoping I won't be too knocked out from the anesthesia.

THANKS!

Deb,
I don't know much about stricture but wanted to send you a cyberhug and say that I will keep you in my prayers. I wish you much luck and pray that your doctor is able to fix this so that you will be back to your old self. Take care of yourself and keep us updated.

Deb,
My hubby had 3-4 strictures that needed stretching. It took him about 24 hrs to recover from the anesthesia after each procedure.

Thanks, Ida. The doctor said this may not be resolved with only one procedure.

I don't know what a stricture is but I hope you feel better.
