The experience of it is described well above... The national average is 14% of patients get a stricture.
It is much better to have it done at your stage then when nothing stays down. It is more successful and you are less likely to need more than one procedure. As I have typed before
25% who have a stricture get dilated once
50% get dilated twice
25% need it 3 x's or more.
The drugs are great and with enough you won't remember any of it.
You can do this.
