has anyone ever had to have apart of their intestine stretched

I have two strictures, one mid pouch and one just above pouch entrance. i have had these dilated for the past 5 years. typically the dilations are quarterly but were initially 6 months apart, but theyve also been shortened to as few as 8 weeks apart. it works, it has kept me out of the hosptial for obstructions. well the dilations paired with adding methotrexate to my weekly humira. my dx changed to crohns about 9 years ago. the obstructions from the strictures became the obvious sign. i do this consciously sedated which works for me.
