The stricture was worse than originally thought. I finally had an EGD with dilation on Tuesday and was able to come home yesterday ! I feel so much better. The only issue is that there was only a pin hole opening so they were only able to dilate the stricture to 8 mm, the dr would like it to be 2.5 cm. So I have to go back for serial dilations until it's fixed. I'm on clear liquids yet again. My next EGD will be 1/5. Thanks for all of the thoughts and prayers !

Mandy, so glad you are home and can actually have Christmas before the new year is here. Glad they have you scheduled again so this time maybe it will happen on cue. At least liquids are better than IVs.

Stay in touch, I know you will be feeling better now and will continue to progress.
