Sunshyne,

There are some little things that help, once you remove the cath (what size is it?) then you should start using a size up...just barely larger...if you normally use a 30 then bump it up to 32...keep it in at night when you are sleeping or when you come home from work for a few hours...if it is in the 1st 4cms of your valve then you may be able to get away with just using a baby pacifier (it lays flat against your skin, is just the right size and won't go so deep that it pops the valve open).

For whatever reason your valve wants to narrow, you need to keep an eye on it (???) and be vigilant...so whenever you are having difficulties, do not wait for the doctor to get involved, use the tube or pacifier and help it to not narrow.

And avoid chunky food for the next month...please!
