Hi there, yes I think most of us experience this. As the scar tissue heals it shrinks, call your surgical team and they will arrange an endoscopy to dilate it and so stretching it. I had this procedure several times, but I know others who only had to have it once. So don't suffer, its painless and gets you back on track.Good luck
