How common are strictures?

Could someone give me some statistics on how common strictures are? I'm one week post-op, and I'm not having any problems with anything I've had so far (although I am on a clear liquid diet only right now). I'm just curious if strictures are very common and if I should be worried about getting one. I think I read somewhere when I was pre-op that strictures occur in about 10% of people, but I know I've read a lot on this site about people having them. Any statistics? Thanks!
