What to expect after balloon dilation

J9PouchMember

I had a balloon dilation of a stricture by my old stoma site a few days ago. A lot of the symptoms I was having were impacting my upper G.I. functions, like feeling full very quickly, occasional vomiting, and excessive belching. I’m still belching a bit, and my pouch output is still pretty watery. My surgeon didn’t give me a lot to go on in terms of post procedure care, and even though the meds in my IV we’re supposed to have a half life of a few hours I feel like I’m still feeling off from them. Just wondering if other folks that have had this done took a little time before returning to normal? I’ve seen the scope photos, and they definitely dilated the area significantly so I’m hoping my body just needs a little time to settle.
