My daughter had her pouch revision surgery with Dr. Remzi and we keep going back every few months to get dialated. We met with Dr. Shen today and he says it's better if he does his needle knife procedure.
Due to to many complications she has had, I am very nervous. Is there anyone who has had this done that can help us understand the benefits?

5 months ago Shen did me instead of his normal balloon dilatation, I didn't notice any difference.

Why after the revision with Remzi do you need to keep going to get dialated? did the revision not work? I had my pouch totally redone by Remzi 8 weeks ago and so far so good. Going to get reconnected on March 7th
Strictures can occur with an otherwise successful pouch revision. They are usually quite treatable, but that doesn't make them a delight.
