Likewise. I had a couple dozen endoscopies before I started self dilation. I do it every day but considering stopping and see what happens.

@v132077 I did my dilations for three or four months maybe a bit more then stopped mid 2025.
I did another one like four or five months after stopping, then stopped for another five months or so, and I just did another “tune up dilation” a couple days ago when it felt like maybe getting a bit narrower.
Doing great now.

@v132077 you can do it gradually. Every three days, weekly, bi weekly, then stop. If you feel food is getting stuck again you can re-start. Good luck!
