I've told my story elsewhere here about the first surgery I had which was to open a total stricture--I had a bad perforation. Since then I am just pretty sore afterwards for 4 days or so. You will have healed overall from the rad much more than you were healed for your first dilitations so I would think it would be much less painful and less liklihood of a tear. Good luck.
