The timing of when you can eat after an esophageal dilation procedure will depend on the severity of your condition and how well you respond to the procedure. It is important to follow the instructions and guidelines provided by the gastroenterologist and medical team performing the procedure. In general, it is recommended to wait for a period of 3 to 6 hours after the procedure before eating. This waiting period will allow for proper healing and help to avoid discomfort or complications. The doctor may recommend a specific diet or eating plan to follow after the procedure. It is very important to closely follow the doctor's instructions and to contact the medical team with any concerns or questions. For more information, contact us or book an appointment online.
