3 years out and now I have a stricture!!!!

Since 10/21/2005, I had been feeling ill after I eat. Gas, acid build up, gurgling in my tummy and nauseous. I was able to eat anything and everything and noticed that I was over eating for the past month or so, I gained 10 pounds (I had my surgery 10/16/2005). On 10/22/05, I got this really bad stabbing pain in my abdomen, and back after I took a bite of a piece of chicken. I do chew,chew,chew and play with my food in my mouth and crush it with my tongue and teeth until it is mush. I had to go back and see my bariatric surgeon who told me to go see a gastroentorologist who will do the balloon dialation. I COULDN'T BELIEVE THIS COULD HAPPEN TO ME AT 3 years post-op. My hubby says that it was the lord's way of telling me to cut back on the foods that I was eating. ( I was able to eat 2 donuts and/or 2 pieces of chicken breast at one sitting....etc). Wish me luck on 11/15/2005, when I go for the dilation.
