Just finished. Driving home. I quit eating sugar and carbonated drinks 3 weeks ago. I went to Cleveland clinic. The doctor that did my dialation is not the one that did my scope.
I mention no sugar and no pop bc the endoscope doctor noted that my opening was 6mm....so either the 1st doctor didn't measure right or it changed. I'm wondering if it's inflammation that made it a 2mm. So, he dialated to a 12.5. He said he would do again in 6 to 12 weeks and Amy recommended annually. He said there was a few scattered ulcers in the illiem and took biopsies. He said if I have crohns, it's mild. I feel like it may be the back splash of stool, hopefully, that has caused the stricture and the ulcers.
I didn't wake up in pain. So far, so good. Minimal blood so far...like zero. Minimal blood was noted on my discharge papers. The nurse said to look for concerns within 48 hours....if I don't have any issues in 48 hours, I shouldn't have issues.
I'm so glad it's over
