So surgeon called this morning, I am now on schedule for Monday 1/7 in the afternoon. The test wed showed the stricture has actually gotten worse from the 12/20 test. He thinks possibly the area (where they reconnected in July) is not getting good blood flow and said over time it can cause the area to close up. Hopefully they can cut it out and reconnect to healthier tissue because I do not want another temporary colostomy.
