It’s reasonable to be optimistic about a dilation working the first time, but then adjust the plan if more is needed. Dilation without sedation can be pretty brutal, but sedation makes everything more complicated and expensive. Did she do a finger dilation or use an instrument? Some folks who need repeated dilations learn to do self-dilation, but of course you can’t push beyond reasonable comfort limits.

If the dilation was that difficult then a stricture seems very, very likely.
