How fast does a stricture develop?

dgtracyMember

I was dilated on February 16, typically how fast if a stricture makes a comeback does it take to develop again? my surgeon say shes things mine if it does will make an appearance around june or july. but im having issues and cant remember how my last stricture felt exactly. im on the fence between that and pouchitis right now.

I had one that developed three weeks after takedown surgery. Had it dilated and it developed again about a month after that. Had four more dilations a month or so apart and then it finally stayed open.

I felt great after my dilation but about 10-14 days later small symptoms started to come back but not nearly as bad as before. I'm going for another dilation on Friday. My last one was about 2 months ago.

Things are good with medications but I want to get off the Entocort and Flagyl.
