Just left the manor hospital. Had my endoscopy. Still a bit sedated. But good news is is that there was a stricture and that's why I have battled with most foods. But whilst the camera was down they put a balloon down and did a stretch. So with practically immediate effect I should be able to eat solid food! Fish for dinner tonight! Whoop :)
 
Yey that must be a huge relief! Hope you feeling back to normal very soon, you have a nice rest whilest you can :)
 
great news Ryan, you had a bit of a time of it, but stayed positive all the time, glad you're sorted, enjoy your fish :) xxx
 
Sounds very positive. Go easy tonight with your fish as you might be a little tender maybe? Best of luck now with your eating and weightloss journey.
 
Yuk -- endoscopies are horrible (!) -- but glad it found out something useful for you.

Best wishes with the return to real food !!!

Quite often patients with strictures need more than one stretch, so if you're still having problems let your team know. Good luck!

Well my eating as changed, literally overnight. I am 4 months post and have hardly managed solids. Every day just cheese or porridge. I had an endoscopy yesterday and they discovered a stricture. They did a stretch straight away and wow! What a difference!
